Plot

Never Again takes a ribald yet compassionate look at two lovelorn fifty-something New Yorkers. Christopher (Jeffrey Tambor) is an exterminator-cum-jazz musician who, after years of one-night stands, begins to question his sexual orientation. Grace (Jill Clayburgh) is a divorcee looking to jump-start her life again. When a blind date for Grace goes bad, she ducks into a gay bar, where she meets Christopher. The circumstances are so wrong that the two are immediately drawn to each other.

Just one problem, Grace and Christopher fall in love. Christopher pulls away from the relationship and breaks Grace’s heart. Grace and Christopher go through the motions so that they can discover that they don’t want to be alone and live together happily ever after. In the end, Grace plays “the knight in shining armor” to Christopher’s “damsel in distress”. The film ends with a happy reunion.
