There's the bespectacled and bookish Sam (Kevin Kline), who receives a hall pass from his wife to sleep with any trashy trollop who'll have him, Archie (Morgan Freeman), a stroke survivor living with his overbearing adult son and family, and Paddy (Robert DeNiro), a widower who'd rather
sulk in his bathrobe, stare at pictures of his late wife, and receive bowls of pity soup from a well - meaning neighbor in his New York apartment.
