When Mike is determined that Alex is his true soulmate, he realizes that he has a huge problem-he signed an iron-clad pre-nuptial agreement and his wife will not let him out of the marriage.—S V Krishna Reddy
  • Mike is head over heels for a Jewish girl. Deep into his rapid infatuation, he rushes into marriage only to be blindsided by relentless nagging. Mike quickly learns communicating with a wife is completely different than a fiancée. Enter: The Girl Who Got Away. Standing between him and divorce is a pre-nup with one humiliating stipulation: the couple must host a Divorce Party. Oy vey.

Synopsis

  • Mike Christian (Jonathan Bennett) falls in love with a Jewish girl, Dylan Lipnick (Jamie-Lynn Sigler). Her grandparents initially disapprove, but finally agree to their marriage after Mike converts to Judaism. Dylan's parents' divorce badly affected her and she draws up with a long prenup that Mike signs without reading. They honeymoon and return to the house the grandparents have bought for them. After four months of marriage, Mike comes up with the idea of franchising the family business to make money, he is joined in this by his best pal Scotty (Keith D. Robinson). After putting together a business plan, they approach a large business only to find the CEO is on her way to a golf/business week. Dylan takes out a new Visa card to allow Mike to track the CEO down and broker the business deal because this will make for a "happy husband."

    Mike tracks the CEO down in Scottsdale, Arizona and finds she is actually Alex Birch (Nadia Bjorlin), the girl he was supposed to take to prom 13 years earlier and did not happen due to interference from her father prejudiced about Mike's blue-collar upbringing. She is now divorced and still very rich. The spark that was there before reignites and they start a sexual relationship. Mike returns from Scottsdale but continues his relationship with Alex, enjoying her exclusive lifestyle. They develop an affair, he lies to his wife, misleads his partners, but eventually e-mails Dylan, admits to cheating, asking for a divorce, but immediately afterwards finds out she is pregnant.

    Following the prenup, Dylan refuses the divorce; the prenup has a clause that a divorce can only happen with a formal divorce ceremony, with everyone from the original wedding and the bride and groom in their original clothes. This has to be followed by a formal ceremony paid for by the person wanting a divorce. Also, the person bringing the divorce has to explain the reasons.

    Mike spends a lot of time organizing the ceremony and getting people to attend. On the day of the divorce ceremony, he realizes his confusion, and admits he still loves Dylan, asks for her forgiveness, kneeling. He apologizes to Alex, but stays with his wife.
