When Joe Nast's (Jake Gyllenhaal) plans for marriage change due to an

to be - dutifully bereaved husband-to-be and perfect would-be son-in-law
to Ben (Dustin Hoffman) and JoJo (Susan Sarandon). But when another
woman unexpectedly enters his life, he's quickly torn between fulfilling
his new role and following his heart.
