Kate and Meg are childhood
friends and roommates in Seattle experiencing stressful times. Kate is a
high school English teacher who is being pressured by Principal Moss to
resign, while Meg is a struggling cosmetics saleswoman. After a night of
drinking, Meg suggests they go on vacation together to escape their
stressful lives. Kate is reluctant, but ultimately acquiesces as Meg had
already booked non-refundable tickets to Fort Lauderdale using Kate's
frequent flyer miles.
On the plane, Kate and Meg are seated next to Ryan, a handsome firefighter
on his way to a wedding. Both women are immediately attracted to him and
begin to shamelessly flirt with him. A few hours into the flight, the
plane is diverted to St. Louis due to a hurricane warning. The women are
taken to the local Sheraton and run into Ryan, who invites them to drinks
at the hotel club. Before going to bed, Kate tells Meg that she will fight
her for Ryan's affections.
When it is learned the hurricane will move away from Florida, Ryan manages
to get a ride from Craig, a jewelry salesman who had taken a liking to Meg
but had been continually rebuffed by her, and the women ask to tag along.
Kate shows embarrassing childhood photos of Meg to the men for their
amusement and in response, Meg locks Kate in a gas station bathroom,
forcing Kate to escape through a high window covered in feces. Back in the
car, Kate fakes an injury to get a massage from Ryan, prompting Meg to
place sleeping pills into a bottle of wine to give to Kate. When Kate
declines to drink, Craig, who is driving, takes it instead, much to Meg's
horror. After a few hours, Craig eventually passes out and crashes the
car, forcing the four to spend the night at a motel.
When Kate sees the pills in the bottle, she asks for a hotel room for
herself. Meg says that she can have Ryan, but Kate proclaims she never
wanted Ryan and merely did not want Meg to have him. Meg decides to go to
a local bar where Craig joins her. When Craig fails to impress Meg, he
suggests to her that she should be open to the qualities of other men.
Back at the hotel, Ryan makes a pass at Kate, who gives in and has
rigorous sex with him. In the morning at breakfast, Meg tells Kate they
should not jeopardize their friendship over a man, but when Meg lets slip
that Ryan has a misshaped penis, something Kate had seen from having sex
with him, Kate realizes Meg had sex with Ryan as well and the two get into
a physical fight, making a mess of the motel lobby in the process. Their
fight ends when the motel manager calls the police on them.
Craig reveals to the police that Ryan had taken his car to reach the
wedding on time. When he looks up Ryan's Google Plus profile, he sees that
Ryan is the one getting married, revealing this to the women. Appalled,
they beg to be released to stop the wedding, and are let go after paying
for the damage to the lobby. The two arrive at the hotel in Fort
Lauderdale where the wedding is taking place, but it is too late to stop
it. The women confront Ryan, who calls them out on throwing themselves at
him. The women still claim it was wrong for him to sleep with both of them
the night before his wedding and not tell them he was the one being
married. Ryan admits he had been with his now-wife Genevieve since
freshman year of college and has not been able to get with anyone else.
When the women meet Genevieve, they see that she is controlling and
demanding of Ryan, and decide not to tell her about his actions, feeling
Ryan will suffer enough in his marriage. With a few hours before their
flight back to Seattle, Meg tracks down Craig at his jewelry shop to
apologize for brushing him off, kissing him before she leaves. At the
airport, Meg tells Kate that they should not live together anymore, to
which Kate tearfully agrees, as they have been too dependent on each
other.
Kate returns to her job with renewed vigor, and she requests of Principal
Moss that her students be allowed to indulge their creativity more instead
of just following the standard curriculum. Moss reveals to Kate that he
had no intention of firing her; he actually wants to offer her the
assistant volleyball coach position. Meg starts taking classes and is in a
long-distance relationship with Craig. Meanwhile, Meg has moved into an
apartment only a few doors down from Kate so the two can still be close. |
