She gives in, falls for and marries an uptight colleague (Bridges) who maintains that passion and sexual attraction only complicates things in a relationship and should be left out of it. She agrees to try his ordered, scheduled lifestyle until it's killing her and then throws her weight behind having the passionate love she wanted in her marriage by turning herself into a siren who'll win him over.
Nice while slightly sugary, and Bryan Adams on the soundtrack didn't help. Streisand's always subscribed to the Oprah school, and this is the most extreme form of her sentiment as a screen storyteller.
