With their reputations on the line, they know they’re just one click away from being laid bare to the world… but as their race to reclaim their video leads to a night they’ll never forget, they’ll find that their video will expose even more than they bargained for.

    How I Met Your Mother star, Jason Segel stars alongside Golden Globe Award nominee Cameron Diaz (Charlie’s Angels, Bad Teacher) in this romantic comedy from Kate Angelo, the writer and producer of Will & Grace and What About Brian. Also starring is Rob Lowe (The West Wing, Brothers & Sisters) and Golden Globe Award nominee Jack Black (School of Rock, Kung Fu Panda) with EMMY Award winner Rob Corddry (Children’s Hospital) and Ellie Kemper (The Office).
