Plot Summary
On his wedding day, Danny Maccabee overhears his fiancée admitting to her friends that she is only marrying him for his money and is already cheating on him. Distraught, Danny walks out and heads to a local bar. There, a woman approaches him but notices and asks about his ring. After claiming he is in an unhappy marriage, he wins her over. Years later, Danny is a successful plastic surgeon in Los Angeles and has improved his appearance. He keeps his wedding ring, using it to continue feigning being in an unhappy marriage so he can seduce women he meets without having to face long-term romantic commitment.
The only woman aware of his scheme is Katherine Murphy, his office manager and a divorced mother of two. At a party, Danny removes his ring to tend to a child’s scraped knee. Shortly afterward, he meets Palmer, a young sixth-grade math teacher. They spend the night on the beach together, but Palmer finds Danny’s wedding ring in his pocket the next morning. Palmer is furious that he apparently cheated on his wife with her, citing that her own parents divorced because of infidelity. Instead of telling Palmer the truth, Danny claims he is getting divorced from a woman named Devlin Adams after she cheated on him with a man named Dolph Lundgren. When Palmer insists on meeting Devlin, Danny convinces Katherine to pose as her and give them her blessing.
After Palmer overhears Katherine talking on the phone with her children, Michael and Maggie, she assumes they are Danny’s as well and requests to meet them. Danny convinces Michael and Maggie to go along with the scheme, though they blackmail him to take them all to Hawaii. At the airport, they run into Danny’s cousin Eddie, who is traveling in disguise as “Dolph Lundgren” while running from his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend. To maintain the facade, Danny and Katherine are forced to bring him along.
