Summary:

Harry (Academy Award® winner Chris Cooper, 2002, Best Supporting Actor, Adaptation) and Pat (Academy Award® nominee Patricia Clarkson, 2003, Best Supporting Actress, Pieces of April) have a nice, respectable marriage. But when Harry falls in love with a beautiful young lady, he decides he must kill his wife, because divorce would cause her too much pain. Richard (Pierce Brosnan) is Harry's caddish best friend who realizes he must have Harry's lovely mistress (Rachel McAdams) for himself. Love and friendship are contemplated with noir-style suspense and wry humor in this sly comedy that reveals there's nothing quite as devastating, or as divine, as married life.

Participant:

Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, Patricia Clarkson, Rachel McAdams.
