Danny (Adam Sandler) is a cosmetic surgeon by day and a commitment-phobe by night…telling women he’s married in order to avoid any attachments. While his office routine is full of botoxed-foreheads and breast enhancement fakes, he’s about to meet a much younger woman named Palmer (Brooklyn Decker) who’s VERY real.

One of the films surprises is that singer/composer Dave Matthews plays Ian Maxtone Jones, the supposed inventor of iPod and the husband of Kidman’s character Devlin. Three tiaras
