剧情介绍
艾利克斯（阿曼达·皮特 Amanda Peet 饰）是一名伶牙俐齿的律师，在法庭上，她态度强硬，咄咄逼人步步为营，但在婚姻生活中，她却最终吃了败仗。离婚后，艾利克斯独自抚养八岁的女儿查理（乔伊·金 Joey King 饰），为了维持生活，她不得不卖掉了原来的大房子，换成了捉襟见肘的小屋子，可即便如此，她也没有流露出任何的自怨自艾之情。 搬家后，艾利克斯找到了皮特（大卫·瓦尔顿 David Walton 饰）来装修房子。皮特有着非常糟糕的过去，尽管他早已经决定和过去划清界限，重新做人，但似乎他身边并没有人愿意相信这一点。刚一见面，皮特就被艾利克斯身上散发出的独特气质深深吸引，而艾利克斯也很快就意识到，面前这个男人对于她来说，是独一无二的。On the surface, Alex and Pete could not be more different. The recently divorced Alex is a hard-working, high-strung lawyer who is raising her 10-year-old daughter, Charlie, as a single mom following her husband's incarceration for insider trading. Unwilling to let anything get in her way, she downsizes into a smaller house and hires charismatic Pete, a free-spirited ladies man and recovering gambling addict who desperately needs this gig with Alex to jumpstart his life -- and prove that he is no longer a screw-up. Upon hiring him, Alex quickly realizes that she has met her match in Pete, who -- along with his motley construction crew - will not only tear apart her kitchen, but transform her worldview in the process.
