Boris Yelnikoff (Larry David) is a misanthropic chess teacher and former Columbia professor. Divorced, he eschews human contact except for his friends (Michael McKean, Adam Brooks, Lyle Kanouse) and students, criticizing everyone he meets for not matching him intellectually. He spends much of the film washing his hands, all the while singing the "Happy Birthday" song -- an attempt to gauge the proper length of time for the process.

La vie semble sourire à Violet Jones, une jeune femme qui, a priori, a tout réussi : elle travaille dans le monde de la publicité et a un petit ami, jeune interne en médecine ambitieux et séduisant. La quête de perfection, qui constitue le thème fondamental du film, a ses origines dans le rapport qu'entretient Violet avec sa mère depuis son enfance : elles sont à la fois complices et prisonnières dans un rôle de princesses. En effet, la mère lisse inlassablement la chevelure de sa fille; signe de perfection, le lissage est, pour Violet et sa mère, un impératif qui conditionne leur quotidien. Jamais de laisser-aller ou de désinvolture; Violet, angoissée, affiche un éternel sourire, et prévoit tout, anticipe tout... jusqu'aux fiançailles auxquelles elle s'attend dur comme fer, ayant trouvé dans un placard une petite boîte cadeau qui ressemble fort à ce qui cacherait la bague tant désirée...C'était sans compter le destin qui, au détour d'un malencontreux arrosage, va faire basculer la vie de Violet et remettre en question ses certitudes; sa recherche d'une élégance irréprochable va stopper net, et ce sera pour elle l'occasion de faire une belle rencontre... celle avec elle-même.

Bridget initially refuses, quoting that Daniel Cleaver is a "deceitful, sexist, disgusting specimen of humanity".

Peter Colt (Paul Bettany), a British professional tennis player in his thirties whose ranking has slipped from 11th to 119th in the world, considers that he never really had to fight for anything as his wealthy, but not close, family easily put him through studies and allowed him to pursue his tennis ambitions. He bravely exchanges jokes with his German sparring partner Dieter Prohl (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), who is in a similar position. Though he earns a wildcard spot to the Wimbledon tournament, he internally feels that it's time to admit he's getting too old to compete with fitter up and coming men (or boys) and intends, after this last Wimbledon, to take a job with the prestigious tennis club instead.
