Tully Jr. and Earl live on their father's Nebraska ranch, proud and independent to a fault. While the shy, reclusive Earl spends his free time watching movies, the cockier Tully works his way through a succession of short-term affairs and an off-again, on-again relationship with April, a stripper in town. When their childhood friend Ella returns to town to start a veterinary practice, however, Tully falls for her — although the townsfolk have their doubts that he could ever commit to one woman.
O professor Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick) faz parte do conselho estudantil da escola George Washington Carver High, e recebeu três prêmios de "Professor do Ano" durante os doze anos de trabalho na escola.
