Synopsis
Contains the romantic comedies INTOLERABLE CRUELTY, THE HOLIDAY, ALONG CAME POLLY, MAID IN MANHATTAN, and 13 GOING ON 30.
In INTOLERABLE CRUELTY, Miles Massey is an unhappy and lonely divorce lawyer who specialises in protecting the wealth of men who have been caught cheating by their wives. But when Marilyn Rexroth walks into his office, he thinks he might be in love, leading to a thrilling cat-and-mouse battle of the sexes in which audiences never know who's scamming whom and whether true love is ever attainable--especially when there is a lot of money at stake.
In THE HOLIDAY, an English journalist and an American film trailer editor make contact through a holiday website and agree to swap homes for two weeks to escape their disastrous personal lives.
In ALONG CAME POLLY, Reuben, an overanxious insurance risk analyst, weighs his every action by assessing pros and cons. He finds himself dumped on his honeymoon by fickle wife Lisa who runs off with Jacques, a nudist scuba instructor. A few days later, Reuben is back in New York at a pretentious gallery opening, wondering why he's bothering to test the waters so soon, when along comes Polly Price, a quirky, worldly, adventurous soul, whose only flaw appears to be a generalised lack of commitment. The formerly germ-obsessed, controlling Reuben is transformed by Polly's free spirit, her predilection for spicy food, and her pet ferret. Her love of salsa dancing makes him jealous and painfully uncomfortable. But his heart is aflame.
In MAID IN MANHATTAN, Marisa Ventura works as a maid in a top class Manhattan hotel. She meets a wealthy man called Christopher Marshall who is the heir to a political dynasty. Christopher is mistaken in thinking that she is actually at guest at the hotel and the pair share a magical romantic night together. He finally realises the truth but can they overcome their differences?
In 13 GOING ON 30, Jenna is a typical girl who is approaching her teens and who just wants to grow up - as fast as possible. After her 13th birthday she decides that she wants to reach 30 as soon as possible - and next morning she wakes up to find that she is 30. Jenna then has to find out what has happened in the intervening years.
