Eddie (Sean Penn) and Maureen (Robin Wright Penn) are young, married and crazy about each other. They live day to day, fight to fight, dance to dance and drink to drink. No two people ever lived so hard or loved so much. When a neighbor attacks Maureen, Eddie snaps – an outburst that ends up costing him ten years of his life. When he finally returns, he discovers that, in his absence, his wife has gotten re-married to Joey (John Travolta), a man who loves Maureen as much as Eddie does.

Now Maureen is caught in the middle, between the past and the present, between an inexplicable passion and an abiding love, between two men who are absolutely sure of one thing… She’s So Lovely.
