While Beth exceeds her duties as a household assistant and interjects herself in Suzannah's career and tries to convince Suzannah that Gibby must go to help make the house run more efficiently. When Gibby realizes it's Suzannah's career Beth is really after, a newly determined Gibby sets out to save his marriage aided by Suzannah's best friend, Margo, a wisecracking and self-deprecating divorcee and her ex-husband, Hank, who is in the midst of his own mid-life crisis.  Their effort to stop Beth at any cost sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go unroariously awry just as Suzannah's boss arrives for that all-important dinner.  Whether you're married, single, rethinking your divorce or currently being controlled by someone up to no good, you're sure to enjoy this family-friendly, laugh-out-loud Jones/Hope/Wooten comedy.
