The moderately successful local New York journalist Sarah Huttinger actually wants to marry the lawyer Jeff Daly. She visits her hometown Pasadena for her sister Annie's wedding.

Sarah flies to San Francisco, where she finds Beau Burroughs. He confirms the affairs with her mother and grandmother, but convinces them that they can not be their father because of a sports injury ( blunt testicular trauma ).

Reviews
The critics were neither enthusiastic nor repulsed by the film. Roger Ebert judged: “This is not a great film, but it is handsome and good for a few laughs.” James Berardinelli commented similarly: The film offers “a few laughs in connection with good depictions of Costner and MacLaine, but that's about it all arrows in his quiver. It's a waste of time, but it doesn't hurt. ” Tvspielfilm.de judged:“ Rob Reiner's love dance (“Harry and Sally”) relies on puns and bizarre marginal observations. Shirley MacLaine, the cheerful grandmother, shoots the bird. Brisk family madness of the mildly frivolous kind ”. The lexicon of international film speaks of a "perfectly staged" as well as a "brilliant" comedy of "sometimes breathtaking malice", which is carried by "outstanding actors".
