Ray (Ken Olin) is a young adult with a happy girlfriend. However, the agreed date for their marriage was approaching, and he was not sure whether he was willing to make such a commitment. His friends Dennis,Elliot and Vinny have their own commitment problems. Dennis (Kevin Bacon (Kevin Bacon)) is not sure he wants to leave his partner long enough for his music career to develop in Hollywood? Elliot (John Markovich (John Malkovich)) knows that he is gay, but he believes that homosexuality means being suitable for all kinds of ugly stereotypes, and he is determined to avoid such stereotypes at all costs. Vinny (Tony Spiridakis) makes its own promises too often, and often makes promises to the nearest ideal woman. At the same time, cousin Al (Joe Mantegna) and his wife are in trouble, and only the intervention of a well-intentioned psychopath (Jamie Lee Curtis) can put him back on the right track.
