Reckless desire wreaks havoc over Memorial Day weekend as a family confronts the volatile and fragile nature of love. A modern retellin g of Anton Chekhov's "The Seagull", set in rural New England. *Meryl Streep has played the role of Irina on Broadway but Cherry Jones was cast for this movie. Interestingly, Jones originated the role of Sister Aloysious in Doubt on Broadway, but Streep was chosen to play her on screen.这是一部搞笑的爱情轻喜剧，主角就是大名鼎鼎的科学家爱因斯坦（沃尔特·马修 Walter Matthau 饰），他在侄女凯瑟琳（梅格·瑞安 Meg Ryan饰）的终身大事上操了不少心。凯瑟琳对伴侣的要求是智商超群，头脑发达，因此，心理学家詹姆斯（斯蒂芬·弗雷 Stephen Fry饰）虽然人品有些不足，却可以满足她这个首要条件。然而，爱因斯坦的心中却令有人选，那就是高中未毕业的工人艾德（蒂姆·罗宾斯 Tim Robbins饰）。尽管艾德智商不出众，却被爱因斯坦发掘出他能成为好老公的资质。
