After 10 years of being divorced, Jane and Jake get together at their son’s graduation and begin an affair behind the backs of Jake’s much younger wife (Lake Bell) and the architect Jane has begun to date (Martin). While Martin is mostly wasted here, John Krasinski (“The Office”) is terrific as the fiance of Jane and Jake’s daughter. He catches them at a hotel while making wedding plans with their daughter.
