Plot

A bickering couple, immature, irresponsible Gary (Vaughn) and controlling, perfectionist Brooke (Aniston), live in a condo in Chicago. Both are driven in their careers, with Gary working as a partner and tour guide in his brothers' booming tour business and Brooke working in an art gallery. Early in the movie, they separate after a bitter argument. Their conflicts are largely due to Gary's immaturity and inflexibility, and Brooke's perfectionism and controlling nature.
