For one married couple, played by Jennifer Connelly and Bradley Cooper, their relationship begins to suffer when she no longer trusts that he has quit smoking cigarettes. Add to that lack of trust a flirty relationship between the husband and a budding singer portrayed by Scarlett Johansson and you’ve got a recipe for a ruined relationship. Johannsson’s character has another boyfriend, actor Kevin Connolly, but she doesn’t love him.
