The two quickly fall for each other and Lucy thinks she's in love for the first time. Things get even better when Adam's charming personality wins over not only Lucy's widowed mother, Peggy (ROSALEEN LINEHAN), but also Laura (FRANCES O'CONNOR), her bookworm sister; Alice (CHARLOTTE BRADLEY), her older sister who's a new parent along with husband Martin (BRENDAN DEMPSEY); and even their lone brother, David (ALAN MAHER), who hopes he can learn something from Adam about getting his own girlfriend, Karen (CATHLEEN BRADLEY), into bed.
Unbeknownst to Lucy, however, is a secret about Adam that soon involves most everyone in the family in amorous ways not one of them could predict, thus casting a potential shadow over their suddenly announced, pending wedding.
Various sexual encounters are seen (with movement, related sounds and some brief nudity) or suggested/implied, with most related to one man who separately beds three sisters (thus resulting in some bad attitudes since he's dating just one of them). Some brief homosexual-related humor is also present, while several characters smoke and/or drink (with some noted as being drunk).
If the above summary doesn't provide enough detailed information to address any concerns you may have about the film and its appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home, we suggest that you more closely examine our content listings for specific examples of what's present and occurs in the film.
For those concerned with bright, full screen flashes of light, a few moments of that occur during a thunderstorm.
