Melinda crashes a dinner
party thrown by old friends Laurel (Chloë Sevigny) and Lee (Jonny Lee Miller).
When she arrives, Melinda is distraught and under the influence of pills and
alcohol, much to the annoyance of Lee, an actor hoping to impress a producer who
is one of his guests. After a bad breakup with her husband, Melinda lost custody
of her children and came to New York City, where she became involved with Ellis
Moonsong (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a handsome and well-mannered composer whose
promises to her proved to be worthless. Meanwhile, on the funny side of town,
Melinda shows up dazed and confused at the home of Susan (Amanda Peet) and Hobie
(Will Ferrell), who are in the midst of a dinner party. Learning about the sad
state of Melinda's love life after divorcing her husband and losing custody of
her children, Susan decides to play Cupid and fix her friend up with a
well-to-do dentist. However, neither Susan nor Melinda are aware that there is
another man deeply interested in the troubled divorcée.
