Description

Imagine the sensuous intensity of "Nine and a Half Weeks" crashing into the humor of the outrageous TV Show "Reno 911"--what do you get? "Funny Things Happen."

Inspired by the outlandish TV Show Reno 911 comes this quirky comedy that pulls back the curtain on the hilarious world of four rebels, one man, and three women who decide to defy the traditional one-man, one-woman lifestyle and instead pursue the ultimate taboo.

On a flight to Chicago, Madison Mitchell, a personal assistant and writer, runs into her ex-boyfriend, Hunter Scott, a successful movie producer, and it’s love at first sight all over again. After a few cocktails and a little back-and-forth flirtatious banter, they both realize that the chemistry between them is undeniable and decide to have a sexy tryst for old times’ sake.

Soon after their explosive reunion, Madison is taken aback to learn that not only does Hunter have one live-in girlfriend, but two, and has every intention of making Madison his number three.

Together, they embark on a daring, unconventional living arrangement that pushes the boundaries of admiration, true love, and the forbidden. Funny Things Happen is a message to women everywhere that fulfillment is not always found at door number one.
