LOGLINE: Three lifelong friends figure out that life can be shockingly beautiful… if you can abandon the laundry list of what a man or a life should be, and focus on the life you’ve been given.
SYNOPSIS: Michelle is a stunning, witty 38 year old “singles expert” who sells memberships and conducts seminars at a dating service. Michelle has problems. She’s got a downright crazy boss who holds sales meetings in the bathroom and a drunken mother, who has on occasion, come home from the mall naked. Michelle wastes her time sleeping around with inappropriate men and smoking too much pot with her lifelong friends, Shari and Susannah. When a one night stand goes horribly awry, she realizes that she needs to start taking the advice that she dispenses in her seminars. Meanwhile, Shari, a wife, mother and aspiring actress, is beginning an affair with a much younger man and Susannah, a news reporter, is suffering panic attacks and going through a divorce. Because Michelle’s own mother is such a mess, Shari and Susannah’s Jewish moms try to fill in with lots of advice. Just when she thinks she’ll never meet anyone meaningful, Michelle sells Howie a membership at the dating service. He’s a surprising Mr. Right with absolutely none of the qualities she’s looking for in a man. As they get to know each other and sparks ignite, she realizes that he might be the one. He’s not so sure; he’s hooked, but not falling for her immature ways. With the help of their meddling mothers and an array of imperfect characters, the three friends must reconcile the lives that they thought they would be living when they planned their futures in Susannah’s bedroom when they were fourteen years old, and the reality of mid life.

In his late 30s, a self-made man, a real man's man, he is an advertising exec, married to Hallie, father to seven-year-old Robbie. "Bob is the kind of guy who shoots low 80s and takes your cash on the course -- then spends it buying everybody drinks at the 19th hole." Upbeat, gregarious, happily under the thumb of his sexy but b--l-busting wife, Bob rarely lets down his guard. His go-to phrase for pretty much everything is, "Shut the f--k up.". It's Bob and his wife who are hosting the Fourth of July bash in their home...
