00:00I'll just say it. I slept with someone.
00:02If you keep talking, I'm going to get out of the car.
00:03But I think the fact that I did it, it just shows how broken we are.
00:06How much, how much we really...
00:08Oh my God! Get out!
00:10At the very beginning of the movie, his marriage is about to erupt.
00:14And a major piece of information is about to be given to him
00:19about the state of his relationship with his wife.
00:22Yeah, they've been married for a very long time
00:24and have become kind of disconnected.
00:27And she's had an affair.
00:30And asks for, you know, asks for a divorce.
00:33And it blindsides him because he is completely happy,
00:36or so he thinks, and content in this marriage
00:39and loves this woman more than anything else in the world.
00:43You're getting a divorce?
00:44Yeah.
00:44Amy heard you crying in the bathroom.
00:46We all thought it was cancer.
00:48Oh!
00:48Thank God, man!
00:49Yeah, just my relationship.
00:51And it's interesting because he then meets a younger guy
00:54who's a real player.
00:56He's a guy who's very much a Lothario,
00:58played by Ryan Gosling.
01:01And this guy decides to take him under his wing and help him.
01:05Jacob is that quintessential jerk with a heart of gold.
01:13I think he's in, like, a transition place in his life,
01:16and he's kind of trying to pass the baton on to Steve's character.
01:22Hey, ladies' man guy.
01:24Any tips of the trade?
01:25Your wife cheated on you because you lost sight of who you are as a man.
01:29Would you take that straw out of your mouth?
01:30It looks like you're sucking on it.
01:32Hannah is a law student, and she's studying for her bar exam.
01:35I think she's fallen into this path,
01:37and she's kind of settled in terms of Hannah and Jacob.
01:41It's not even really about them individually,
01:45what's so different about them.
01:47It's about the chemistry that you create together,
01:49and I think that they just have some type of chemistry
01:53that's kind of unavoidable.
01:56Emma's so great.
01:57She's just, it kind of blows my mind how good she is.
02:02It's been a real thrill.
02:04It's a beautiful woman in this bar,
02:06but I can't take my eyes off of you.
02:07It's time to go home.
02:08Oh, it's forward of you, but okay.
02:10Should I pull the car around?
02:10Have you been drinking?
02:11I'll drive.
02:12We did a scene the other day
02:13where I had to be naked in front of Steve,
02:17which was awful.
02:20But if I had to be anyone, I'm glad it was him.
02:23And he was looking at my...
02:28Schwanz?
02:28You've got to take control of your manhood, pal.
02:30Can you put on some clothes, please?
02:31Oh, I'm sorry.
02:32Is this bothering you?
02:34Beautiful.
02:35It's really fun and a little bit wacky.
02:37It's all really rooted in a really kind of serious,
02:41you know, question.
02:43And it's a real kind of emotional sort of expression.
02:47And so you don't feel like you're just
02:50doing something completely goofy,
02:52even though there were definitely some goofy moments.
02:55Take off your shirt.
02:56Why?
02:56Will you take off your shirt?
02:58Seriously?
02:59It's like you're photoshopped.
