Richard Haig (Pierce Brosnan) is a Cambridge literature professor who specializes in the Romantic poets, and who has an insatiable appetite for booze and beautiful women. He’s currently sleeping with one of his students, Kate (Jessica Alba), though he tries to do right by her when she announces she’s pregnant. The two move to Southern California but their marriage is short-lived, as Kate falls for young Brian (Ben McKenzie). Richard stays on in the poolhouse so he can continue to be involved in his son’s life, but he’s clearly a bloke in need of redemption: With lousy job prospects and his green card about to expire, he’s facing possible deportation back to the U.K. Along comes Kate’s beautiful older sister, Olivia (Salma Hayek), who has never been a fan of her hard-drinking, heavy-flirting brother-in-law, but who’s startled to find herself developing feelings for him.
