Debbie and Peter have a one night stand when they were very young and that’s the end of romance. But they become best friends and remain so for twenty years. Now Debbie, a single mom, has a son and Peter is still single. 

Debbie wants to go to New York to complete a program that will result in a pay rise. Peter volunteers to travel to LA to take care of Debbie’s son. Thus they stay in each other’s houses. They are best friends, they don’t keep anything from each other. But when they live in each other’s house for a week, they know hitherto unknown things about each other. 

Reese plays Debbie, the single mom, one who doesn’t take risks, always plays safe. Ashton plays Peter, a successful consultant, earns good. Doesn’t settle in any relationship. They both have a fear. Fear of losing each other. Why?

It’s a hilarious movie that traverses the predictable path, lands into a predictable territory and ends predictably!

Positives: Easy take. 

Negatives: Predictability.  

Watch if you are looking for light entertainment.
