Ahem... and while you're "at it..."
A whisky-and-splash comic chaser for the godawful 2000s. Anglican Seinfeld. Wodehouse with more sex, Waugh with more heart. Who's for a bit of what we're having, a perfect corker of a Brit-American cocktail, with a happy ending for all time?
When his alluring wife Deborah bolts with Benedict Hoepplewhite, young schoolteacher Chesterfield must accept the iron dictates of his family code: no gentleman subjects a woman to the indignity of divorce.
A gentleman needn't, however, take it entirely lying down. Whether allying with a lesser evil (the Mafia) to take down Hoepplewhite, "chucking a dummy" in a French bistro to foil Deborah's grab for the rumoured family fortune, pimping Deborah to his randy retired Marine father Jack, or mapping strategy with his ghostly bourbon tippling British mum Daphne, Chesterfield's keen for action. But who'd have thought that winsome green-eyed kindergarten teacher Carrie Hahn would so perfectly match with him in zest for mischief?
