A perfect couple of perfect successful professionals consider themselves "modern enough" to agree a friendly divorce because, in their own words, their passion has became a good friendship. They have it all perfectly planned: dad, a doctor, will fulfill his dream of spending half a year in Haiti as volunteer. They would get apartments not far from each other so their children (a six years old boy and two teenagers, boy and girl) are never far from both of them. The only thing to do is they have not the guts to tell the children about their divorce.
But of course, things are not going to be as easy as ghat. Mom, construction manager, is offered a dream project abroad. In a forts moment, she is willing to reject it and stick to the plan. Until her husband starts a relationship with a young nurse and she finds out.
From that point, a war starts between them to NOT get the custody of their kids, so they can pursue their career wishes.
They will do anything to make the kids to choose to live with the other, or a judge to decide so, from mom sneaking in her teenage daughter friends party to drink, smoke weed and dance sexy for the girl's absolute shame, dad explaining their six years old "you know... when somebody separate female wolves from their cubs they kill themselves. You don't want mommy to suicide don't you". Those being just two of the less politically incorrect methods used.
Each one's friend's advises to help them to get the custody are not in vain: they immediately do the opposite.
This movie, because of its budget and facture, parted with kind of low expectations on my part, but it was entertaining, and I laughed. I think precisely because it is so non-PC.
