In the blink of an eye, happily married Rebecca Lott (Perkins) becomes a widow or, as she puts it, "the 'W' word." She's not alone for long, however, when her eccentric friend Sylvie (Goldberg), neurotic younger sister Lucy (Paltrow) and controlling ex-stepmother Alberta (Turner) move in with a lot of baggageboth emotional and literal! But when Alberta hires a sexy house painter (rocker Jon Bon Jovi in his screen debut) to raise Rebecca's spirits, he inspires unforeseen passionand unexpected compassionwithin each of the women, as they learn to let down their defenses and let go of their innermost fears.
