Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

A man who's afraid of risk (Stiller) makes a living analyzing risk for insurance purposes, but finds his wife (Messing) cheating on him on their honeymoon with a French scuba instructor (Azaria). Distraught, he gets involved in a risky romance with an extroverted former classmate (Aniston), only to find his wife desperate to rekindle their marriage.

Trivia

This film contains the leads from two popular sitcoms, Jennifer Aniston (Friends) and Debra Messing (Will & Grace). They appear together when Lisa (Debra Messing) tries to win back Reuben (Ben Stiller) at his new apartment when he comes home from a date with Polly (Jennifer Aniston).

The part where Ben and Irving play basketball when Irving's hairy chest slides gruely on Ben would be later spoofed in the 2006 Movie, Date Movie.
