The movie starts with Jane (Meryl Streep) and Jake (Alec Baldwin) at the anniversary party of a couple. You see the four laughing together and Jane and Jake smiling, and they seem to be at ease with each other. Everyone is of similar age and elegantly and tastefully dressed, and then Jake’s much younger wife Agness (Lake Bell) shows up wearing a bikini top and a sarong skirt.
Trailer:
They chat for a few minutes and Agness brings up the plans for Luke’s, Jake and Jane’s son, graduation in New York the following week. They realize they are all staying at the same hotel. Jane excuses herself from the party and drives to her beautiful home. We see that she has a loving, close relationship with her two adult daughters, Gabby and Lauren, as well as Lauren’s fiancée Harley (John Krasinski). She also has a close-knit, group of friends who go over to her house for dinner and drinks, to hang out, gossip and have a good time. They discuss Jane’s amicable relationship with Jake and how much she has progressed from hating him 10 years ago to peacefully co-existing with him. They discuss how Jake cheated on Jane during their marriage with Agness, eventually leaving Jane to be with Agness. However, then Agness left Jake for a former boyfriend, got pregnant by him and returned to Jake. Consequently, Jake is now raising Agness’ young son with a former lover, Pedro. Later, Jane goes to work, she owns and runs a bakery/café.
She also realizes that she had forgotten about an appointment with her architect as she’s planning to remodel her kitchen and add an expansion to her home. Her architect brings along another architect, Adam (Steve Martin), and as they go over the plans, which Jane loves, he reveals that Adam is the one who has designed her new plans. Jane is very involved in the process, sending numerous emails concerned with minute details and has even more comments and details she wants altered. She and Adam make another appointment for Adam to come over to the house to see it in person and discuss the plans.
Jane sneaks away, telling her employees she’s going to a dentist appointment when she really goes to see a plastic surgeon. She expresses her reservations about plastic surgery but admits some concern over her drooping eyelids. The doctor details cosmetic procedures, which sound pretty grotesque and she quickly leaves. In the elevator, she runs into Jake, Agness and Pedro coming out of a fertility clinic. She offers her dentist excuse again, and Jake questions her, knowing she’s been going to the same dentist for years, further illustrating their closeness and history. We see that Pedro is hyperactive and constantly climbing all over Jake, further illustrating the age differences in his new family.
