All the major and minor characters are females).We meet Mary Haines (Meg Ryan), who is working in her yard and talking on the phone with her friend, Sylvie Fowler (Annette Benning), who is the editor-in-chief for a fashion magazine. Mary tells Sylvie not to be late for the lunch event taking place at her home. After their conversation, Sylvie goes to Saks Fifth to get a manicure. She meets manicurist Tanya, who starts gossiping about a perfume saleswoman named Crystal Allen (Eva Mendes) having an affair with Stephen Haines, Marys husband.
