A neurotic, young psychology student, with low self-esteem, has a chance encounter with a free-spirited, extremely gregarious woman who works at the Paris Health Club in New York City, and who suggests that they immediately get married to see how it will work out. Both of the student's parents are analysts, and they provide the happy couple with a gift certificate for a year of marriage counseling as a wedding present.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Ira & Abby, in its breezy, low-key way, will make audiences happy -- something [director] Westfeldt already knows how to do.
– Moira MacDonald,

fresh:
It's sunny, oh-so-New-York and ever-so cute, and Messina and Westfeldt, under-used actors, are equally beguiling.

rotten:
Ira & Abby is like its characters: nice with a lot of problems.
– Wesley Morris,
Boston Globe,

fresh:
Ira & Abby has plenty of sharp details, mostly verbal, and it gives old pros and newer faces a chance to show off their poker-faced comic wiles.

fresh:
The movie benefits from an exceptionally strong line-up of supporting characters beautifully played by a top-notch cast.
