A trio of Vero Beach couples at various points in their relationships become the subjects of a film about marriage being an antiquated idea that needs a reboot: why not turn marriage into a seven-year deal with an option to renew?

For Alice (Lake Bell) and Noah (Ed Helms), more than a hint of boredom is setting in as they approach a decade together and the prospect of parenthood. Meanwhile, Alice’s funky sister Fanny (Amber Heard) is sure her “open marriage” to Zander (Wyatt Cenac) is the key to their free-spirited happiness. And then there’s Cybil (Mary Steenburgen) and Harvey (Paul Reiser), a pair of empty-nesters wondering what the next stage will be. And as the manipulative filmmaker (Dolly Wells) attempts to show how marriage is outmoded, the couples she interviews discover the push-and-pull of their own relationships.Lake Bell’s directorial follow-up to the acclaimed In A World, I Do … Until I Don’t is a punchy, sassy ensemble comedy about marriage, sex, and every other bomb-defusal scenario in human relationships.
