Terry and Dianne (TYLER PERRY and SHARON LEAL) appear to be the happiest, but Terry is slowly suspecting Dianne of having an affair. Angela and Marcus (TASHA SMITH and MICHAEL JAI WHITE) constantly bicker, and Angela has major trust issues with regards to her husband. Newlyweds Sheila and Troy (JILL SCOTT and LAMMAN RUCKER) have serious money issues, having just moved from Colorado to Atlanta for Sheila's work. They have two mortgages, and Troy has been unable to find a new job. Finally, Patricia and Gavin (JANET JACKSON and MALIK YOBA) are privately on the verge of divorce, but neither is willing to confide in their friends.
Into this mix comes the divisive Mike (RICHARD T. JONES), Sheila's abusive ex-husband who has decided to take his timeshare vacation on the same week as the various couples. His presence angers Troy, unsettles Sheila, and makes the others feel uncomfortable as well. Eventually, the nine meet an elderly couple (LOUIS GOSSETT JR. and CICELY TYSON) who remind them why they are lucky (and unlucky) in love.
Violence consists of one man being punched, one woman being manhandled by her drunken husband, a woman firing a gun randomly in a house, and one character being killed in a fairly horrifying car accident. The crash and its emotional aftermath will likely be unsettling for some viewers.
Bad attitudes are present, especially with regards to marriage, and tense family material is present. There is also much potentially imitative behavior and various thematic elements. Drinking is present throughout, jokey references are made to characters smoking marijuana and crack cocaine, and there is one scene of cigarette smoking.
