He decides to bury himself in his work that includes determining whether adventurous Australian businessman Leland Van Lew (BRYAN BROWN) is insurable or not. Reuben's best friend and former movie actor Sandy Lyle (PHILIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN), however, thinks that Reuben needs to get back into the saddle right away.
Accordingly, they attend a party where Reuben runs into Polly Prince (JENNIFER ANISTON), a former middle school classmate who's working as a waitress. Despite the two being opposites, they're attracted to each other. From that point on, and with Lisa returning and asking for forgiveness, Reuben must decide whether he should play it safe with her or live on the wild, unpredictable and potentially risky side with Polly.
Other sexually related dialogue is present, as are some sexual gestures, some "dirty dancing" and two partially seen sexual encounters (with movements and sounds). Some nonsexual nudity (men's bare butts, a partial view of a woman's bare breast from the side) occurs on a beach.
Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, while some crude bathroom humor is present. Some characters drink, one pops some pills and some slapstick style material occurs in several scenes, one with mildly bloody results.
