Forty-year-old Eddie Cantrow (Stiller) realizes it is time to start thinking about settling down when he is seated at a singles' table full of kids at an ex-fiancee's wedding. When Eddie meets beautiful, smart, and funny Lila (Akerman), he feels as though he will be able to mend his non-committal ways. Lila soon finds that her company is planning to transfer her to a position in Germany, a move that she would not be asked to make if she were married instead of single. Eddie decides to take a leap of faith and marry his beautiful, blonde girlfriend. From the moment Eddie slips the wedding band on Lila's finger, he begins to notice annoying habits in his new bride. Things only get worse for Eddie, when on his honeymoon, he meets a beautiful girl named Miranda (Monaghan), who makes him wish that he had waited a bit longer before tying the knot. Will Eddie stay committed to Lila or will he become The Heartbreak Kid and abandon his new wife on their honeymoon? Based on the screenplay by Neil Simon and the short story by Bruce Jay Friedman. (Stacey Pendry)
