music mogul who has had a 40-year habit of dating women under 30, including his latest conquest, Marin Klein. The two drive to her mother's Hamptons
beach house
expecting to be alone, but are surprised by Marin's mother, successful playwright Erica Barry, along with her sister Zoe.
After an awkward dinner, the night turns disastrous when — during foreplay
with Marin — Harry has a heart attack
and is rushed to a hospital. The doctor, Julian Mercer, tells Harry to stay nearby for a few days, so Harry ends up staying with Erica. Their personalities clash and make for awkward living arrangements at first until they get to know each other. The fact that Harry is dating her daughter and that Julian has fallen for Erica leave the two struggling to deal with relationships.
Marin and Harry agree to break up. He and Erica spend more time together and eventually consummate their relationship. Harry discovers that his improving health means that he no longer has to stay with Erica, so he heads home.
Marin receives news that her father, Erica's ex-husband, whom she still allows to direct her plays, is getting remarried. Although Erica is unaffected by the news, Marin is devastated and pressures her mother into accompanying her to a family dinner. Erica is the life of the party until she sees Harry at another table with another woman. In the argument that follows, Harry suffers from what he believes is another heart attack, but he is told by the ER physician, Dr. Martinez, that it was only a panic attack.
Although she is heartbroken, Erica figures that these events would be great to use in a play. Harry hears about it and rushes to the NYC theater where it is being rehearsed. There he sees Erica, who tells him to move on with his life. He then has another panic attack and is again treated by Dr. Martinez, who advises him to take some time to relax and figure out his life.
Six months pass. Harry pays a visit to Marin, who happily tells him that she is pregnant and has a new husband. Harry apologizes if he ever hurt her, to which she says he was nothing but nice to her. Harry expresses a desire to see Erica. Marin tells him that her mother is in Paris to celebrate her birthday. Harry decides to surprise Erica and shows up at the Parisian restaurant where she is seated at a table, remembering how they had once planned to spend their birthdays together there. Harry explains to Erica that, over the past six months, he has tried to reach out to all of the women he has had affairs with and left, some of whom were receptive to his apologies and shared insight on how he treated them. The process allowed Harry to understand women better. Julian appears. All along, Erica has been waiting at the restaurant for Julian, whom she is now dating.
Harry and Erica realize they are still in love with each other during the dinner, but they part outside the restaurant. While he is gazing over the river Seine
, Erica pulls up in a taxi. She explains that Julian figured out what was happening between them and decided to step aside to let Erica be with Harry. Harry explains that his search the last six months has made him realize he truly loves Erica. Harry and Erica kiss.
A year later, at a New York restaurant, Erica and Harry, now married, are out with Marin and her husband and a year-old child, as one big happy family.
