Divorced single mom and masseuse Elaine Bennis finds mid-life romance with Tony Soprano, in his penultimate role, but simultaneously indulges a new friendship with his ex-wifie, who talks his ass DOWN. Neither party is aware of Elaine's relationship with the other, and that sort of Three's Company plotline is guaranteed to provide the mix of anxiety and hilarity that will thrill dozens.
The film is clearly aimed at females, although the females it presents generally range from awful to merely indecently shallow, and they share shit with each other that they just shouldn't share. But I guess they do. Tony's character (Albert), is a decent egg, but the only other male (played by Ben Falcone) is a horror show, and Toni Collette (playing his character's wife) takes his huge piles of crap with mere occasional eyerolls. Aren't the "friend" couples supposed to be charming and colorful in romantic comedies? Catherine Keener makes the ex-wife unbearable, too.
Hey, nice to see longtime TV actors inhabit new characters in a film, but... mostly I wanted to get a divorce from society.
