Two male leads, Carey and Paul, erupt into an unexpectedly large, awkward brawl in a Hamptons house after Carey reveals he slept with Paul’s wife, Julie. The fight escalates from a single slap into a full-scale wrecking of two floors, destroying furniture, walls and a $20,000 rug, while the men trade ungainly punches, wrestling moves and bizarre stunts. Neither man is a trained fighter, but Paul’s aikido background and Carey’s gym-teacher physique plus televised wrestling fandom fuel relentless zero-sum competitiveness. The combat reads as authentically physical and dorkily hilarious, emphasizing comedic chaos over polished intensity.
Sensitive elementary-school gym teacher Carey (Marvin) has just informed real-estate developer Paul (Covino), his best and possibly only friend in the world, that he's slept with Julie (Dakota Johnson), Paul's wife. The night before, the couple had revealed to Carey, who'd just broken up with his own wife, Ashley (Adria Arjona), that their marriage was an open one; then, Julie and Carey wound up alone together and, well, one thing led to another.
First, they obliterate the dining room of Paul's house, ruining a huge, fancy couch; destroying a sturdy, rustic dining table; smashing into the walls of the home he considers an "architectural masterpiece"; and doing bizarre wrestling moves on top of what we've been told is a $20,000 rug. These men are not athletes or fighters or hit men, so they're ungainly and a little lumbering.
