A man falls in love, but he can't get his ex wife over. This effects his lovelife in comic ways. Based on Dan Wakefield's book. Burt Reynolds can be a attractive middle-aged man who suffers a crisis of confidence when awakened with his ambitious singer wife (Candice Bergen), until he starts to invent a fresh new relationship having an equally insecure teacher (Jill Clayburgh). However, if the wife tries a reconciliation - to-be followed by a song that was excruciating she has written for him - he understands where his loyalty lies.
