Synopsis: Jon Favreau is completely gutted after what he thought was his dream relationship ended abruptly. Vince Vaughn makes it his life's goal to get his buddy over the heartache and into another woman's bed by showing him the ropes of single life in the West Coast scene. Through a series of mishaps and embarrassing faux pas, Favreau is lost between wanting his girlfriend back and moving on. Lesson: Yearning is a lost art; a dead language. Dwelling too hard on past events will only lead to further torture and regret. If you can learn to embrace the bad, like being alone for instance, you will open yourself up to finding something or someone else to enrich your life, rather than fill a void.

When the chase is over, Tautou realizes that she has fallen in love with the stranger and has precious time to woo him. Lesson: There is always time for a good adventure. Adventure is what makes us all feel alive. You don't have to be young to have one, either. There is something endearing about having a child-like wonder behind your eyes. You're only old if you feel old. If you live your life open to fun and adventure, you'll feel younger than you actually are.
