A warm, energetic buddy comedy about two mismatched roommates whose clashing personalities and habits generate humor through affection and exasperation rather than cruelty.

In New York, Felix, a neurotic news writer who just broke up with his wife, is urged by his chaotic friend Oscar, a sports journalist, to move in with him, but their lifestyles are as different as night and day are, so Felix's ideas about housekeeping soon begin to irritate Oscar.
