Jack and Jill vs the World (2008)
Jack este un director executiv de succes al unei agenţii de publicitate, cu o viaţă la fel de strălucitoare ca lumea reclamelor în care se învârte în fiecare zi. Jill este o tânără de 20 de ani proaspăt sosită în New York, care nu se poate lăuda decât cu personalitatea aprinsă şi idealurile sale romantice.
Cum lucrurile opuse se atrag, relaţia dintre Jack şi Jill evoluează cu o viteză uimitoare, de la cea dintre doi necunoscuţi, la cea dintre doi colegi de cameră, care ajung în cele din urmă iubiţi.
După o serie de absenţe care-l pun pe gânduri pe Jack, Jill este nevoită să-i mărturisească un secret bine ascuns, iar relaţia tinerilor se răceşte, după ce fata încalcă astfel regula de bază de la care a pornit totul: “fii sincer”. Însă o ameninţate cu bombă la biroul lui Jack va schimba complet mersul lucrurilor.
