The no-nonsense, ever practical Dr. Lloyd questions Sophia's concept of romantic love and advises her to break their engagement, which she swiftly does. But, when Patrick and his computer-savvy neighbor decide to give Dr. Lloyd a taste of her own medicine and "accidentally" join them in holy matrimony--something that doesn't go over too well with her fiancée--it isn't long before they learn that sometimes even an expert in love needs a second opinion.
