Synopsis: At a dinner party celebrating Andy and Liz's impending nuptials, the guests begin discussing the relationship between Mickey, an NBA referee, and Ellen, an airline executive. The two met in Paris... At a dinner party celebrating Andy and Liz's impending nuptials, the guests begin discussing the relationship between Mickey, an NBA referee, and Ellen, an airline executive. The two met in Paris and enjoyed a blissful week of laughter, romance and sightseeing. But when they later wed, Mickey and Ellen quickly learn how differing personalities, unpredictable job schedules, and work-related separations can hurt a marriage. But instead of taking the easy route and giving up, Mickey and Ellen fight to keep their marriage intact. And perhaps their success in doing so will serve as an example to Andy and Liz. The film includes cameos by many NBA stars, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Isiah Thomas, Charles Barkley, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, and Spud Webb. [More]

Towards the end you wish they'd just get it over with, but this film usually overcomes even the most cynical viewer's resistance.

Some nice one-liners and a bit of good scenery help the story of a whirlwind romance that turns to salt when she later joins him Stateside.

Like the relationship it depicts, everything goes terribly slack in the middle.

Mr. Crystal's style as a director is smoothe and bland.

Um roteiro divertido que inova ao investir em um casal de protagonistas mais maduro do que o habitual.
