【内容简介】
Holly（凯瑟琳·希格尔饰演）是一个事业蒸蒸日上的宴会承包商，Messer（乔什·杜哈明饰演）则是一个很有前途的体育电视导演，他们俩仅有的共同点是都不喜欢对方、都喜欢他们的教女Sophie。一场横来的车祸让Sophie成为孤儿，作为教父教母，霍莉和埃里克不得不承担起抚养Sophie的责任。他们暂时放下彼此的成见，重新安排自己的事业和生活，而生活在同一个屋檐下久了，两人对彼此的印象也也慢慢改变了。

在影片中，凯瑟琳·海格尔扮演的女主人公是一位生活井井有条的完美主义者。乔什·杜哈明扮演的男主人公性格懒散。两个性格迥异的人因为一个孩子不得不经常见面。因为这孩子是他们共同的教女，她的双亲又不幸出了意外，结果孩子被判给两人共同抚养。 　　

梅赛尔和霍莉分别是新婚夫妻皮特和艾莉森的好友，皮特和艾莉森很希望梅塞尔和霍莉能走到一起。为了不辜负好友的一番美意，这两个性格截然不同的人开始了初次约会……
Holly: Hi.
Messer: Holly.
Holly: Eric.
Messer: Messer.
Holly: Messer.
Messer: Messer. Yeah, everybody calls me Messer.
Holly: Well, it's nice to finally meet you, Messer.
Messer: Am I late?
Holly: Um, just an hour. But you know, I just finished getting ready, and Alison said it was your m.o., so....
Messer: Peter said you'd probably say something.
Holly: Ha, ha. Oh, did he? Oh, okay.
Holly: Neat. Should we go?
Messer: Yeah, yeah, let's go.
Holly: Yeah, let's get some dinner. I'm super hungry. It's been like an hour. So I hear you justmoved to Atlanta.
Messer: Yep.
Holly: Oh. How long have you known Pete for?
Messer: High school.
Holly: Oh, wow. Oh, thank you. I've known Alison since college. We were in a sorority together.Where's your car?
Messer: Right here. Here you go.
Holly: Oh.
Messer: Come on. Hold on tight. I promise I won't read into it.
(Start engine)
Holly: I'm not really dressed for 40-mile-an-hour--
Messer: What?
Holly: I'm not really dressed for 40-mile-an-hour winds.
[Engine stops]
[Holly chuckles]
Holly: Sorry. I just-- You know, I don't even think I could really get my leg up over it, so.... But I'll drive. My car's right here. And it's new, so I love driving it.
Messer: It's a sweet ride.
Holly: Thanks. Hop in.

M.o.
Modus operandi，方式。影片中Messer迟到了一个钟头，不过Holly的好友Alison曾事先告诉她约会迟到是Messer的一贯作派，因此Holly也有相应的心理准备。m.o.还可以是mail order（邮购）的缩写，或medical officer（军医）的缩写。
Neat 相当于good或excellent，意思是“好，好极了”。
Super hungry 饿极了。有一句习语叫I could eat a horse，就是形容这种十分饥饿的状态。
Sorority （美国大学里的）女生联谊会。
Read into something
对……作过多的理解。影片中Messer的意思是他不会想入非非。请看例句：Hereads love into her casual friendliness.（他把她不经意的友好表示看成了爱情。）
