Premise: This is a romantic comedy about a married couple (Willis, Pfeiffer) trying to restart their love life after fifteen years together has left their relationship bereft of spice or, well, romance. This looks to be the story of the kind of midlife romantic rekindling that gets many marriages jumpstarted into the second, and sometimes, better half of a couple's lives together.
