Unmarried and just turned 40, sporting goods store owner Eddie
Cantrow (Ben Stiller) is on the sidelines of the dating game when
he attends the wedding of his former fiancée. Eddie meets Lila (Malin
Akerman) and the pair quickly embark on a whirlwind romance, which
leads to a hasty proposal. On the way to Mexico for their
honeymoon, Eddie discovers his new bride not only has the face of
an angel, but a trucker's vocabulary and a nearly insatiable
appetite for hilariously athletic sex. By the time they reach the
swanky resort, Lila has transformed from a gentle and sweet life
partner into a crass, tequila-swigging wench with a sordid past,
leaving Eddie wondering what he's gotten himself into.
After Lila refuses to leave their hotel room because of the
sunburn to end all sunburns, Eddie consoles himself at the bar
where he strikes up a casual conversation with Miranda (Michelle
Monaghan), a laid-back high school lacrossed teacher who is as
wholesome and grounded as Lila is flighty. Soon, the miserable
newlywed is manufacturing excuses to leave his bride behind and
spend time with Miranda. As he falls for Miranda's down home
allure, Eddie tries his best to level with both women. But a
series of misunderstandings leads to a wildly funny confrontation
among a man, two women and a Portuguese man o' war.
