奥利维亚(珍妮佛·安妮斯顿)有三个亲密无间的老朋友,四个女人多年为伴,无话不谈。随着人到中年,朋友的际遇各有不同,却都已然成家立业:她们一个成为著名的服装设计师,一个是当红剧作家,另一个继承大笔遗产,衣食无忧。相比之下,奥利维亚的生活真是一塌糊涂,她不仅单身未婚,而且刚刚丢了工作,生活陷入困境。 虽然带着表面的尴尬与难堪,老友们依然不离不弃,帮奥利维亚介绍工作,介绍男友,却鲜有成效。其实老友们也有自己的烦恼,厌倦工作、厌倦婚姻、厌倦生活,每个人都切实感触着中年的危机与烦恼。奥利维亚游走在大商场,索要着免费的面霜试用装,借着老友的光参加各种高级派对,等待烦恼逝去,等待真命天子的到来。其实不管每个人多有钱,还不是都这样等待着……Four women friends: three are wealthy and married plus there's Olivia, a former teacher who's now a maid. The marriages are in various states of health: Franny and Matt are happy and very rich. Christine and David write screenplays together, are remodeling their house, and argue. Jane is angry all the time and Aaron, who's an attentive husband, strikes everyone as gay. Franny sets up Olivia with a friend of hers, Mike, a personal trainer, and Olivia takes him with her to a couple of housecleaning jobs. A benefit dinner for ALS, an awkward guy named Marty whose place Olivia cleans, and a French maid's outfit figure in the story. Is there more to life than its problems?
