Melinda and Dan are a dysfunctional couple, with Dan needing Viagra with her, but not with a waitress that he is banging. As some will tell you, the biggest sex organ is between your ears. The film starts out with jealous shrink Dr. Roger Klink, who's involved in an affair with Melinda, breaking into a motel room where Melinda and Dan are getting 'reaquainted'.

Skirting appropriate relationships with their patients, Melinda and Dan, get at best questionable counselling from doctors Klink and Paige, who each have their own agendas. Getting all of the relationships straight is a laugh a minute and it's fun to see Boyle yucking it up and having fun in something other than the serious TV show, The Practice.
