Plot

Advertising executive Buddy (Affleck), has just signed an airline in Chicago as a big client, but is ironically delayed at the airport waiting for a flight to Los Angeles on that same airline. He meets fellow passenger Greg, who opts to be bumped, even though it means missing an activity with his older son. When the flight gets resumed, Buddy thinks he's doing a good deed by swapping tickets with Greg so he can get home to his son. While spending the night with fellow stranded passenger Mimi (Henstridge), he discovers via the television news that Greg's flight crashes. Buddy had conspired with his friend Janice Guerrero (Grey), the ticket agent that night, to take his name off the passenger list and put Greg's on. Once he's back in LA, Buddy's new client dictates that the company run a series of feel-good ads about the crash. Buddy feels very hypocritical, and completely loses it when the commercials win a Clio award. After going through re-hab with Alcoholics Anonymous, trying to build up his life Buddy seeks to meet the family Greg left behind, then falls in love with the deceased man's widow, Abby (Paltrow), and her two children.
