格雷(托马斯·吉布森 Thomas Gibson 饰)是从小就含着金汤匙出生的富家大少爷,虽然一直过着养尊处优的富足生活,但十分古板严苛的家教却让他感到十分的不自由。长大之后,格雷成为了年轻有为的英俊律师,前途一片平坦光明。 达玛(珍娜·艾夫曼 Jenna Elfman 饰)出生在典型的犹太家庭,她的家人各个都是神经大条的自由派人士,生活随心所欲到有时候达玛自己都觉得无法接受。就是这样一对身份和个性截然不同的男女,命运让他们邂逅于地铁之上,缘分又令两人一见钟情,一时间,他们竟然陷入了难舍难分的热烈恋情之中。然而,激情毕竟短暂,鸡飞狗跳才是生活的常态,格雷和达玛会如何化解两人之间那巨大的鸿沟呢?There could hardly be an odder match, but love knows no reason. Assistant D.A. Greg Montgomery, the son of successful businessman Edward Montgomery and Kitty, the queen of socialite snob-ism, falls madly in love with the utterly unconventional free spirit Dharma Finkelstein, the daughter of hippie couple Larry Finkelstein and Abby O'Neil. Even if they can't break the couple up, both in-law families-who never agree on anything else-stir up trouble as they are shocked by each other's lifestyle. Greg's lazy and incompetent colleague Pete Cavanaugh and Dharma's odd friend Jane, don't help their relationship either, between which another improbable hate-love chemistry develops.
