Along the way, they discover who they are and what is really important to them. Also with Sean Hayes, Beverly Todd and Rob Morrow. Director Rob Reiner. [1:36]

SEX/NUDITY 3 - A woman kisses her dead husband on the lips. A woman kisses a man on the cheek.
 Two men talk about kissing a lot of women: One says he wants to kiss the most beautiful woman in the world, the other asks how he's going to do that, and the first man replies, "Volume." Men talk about how many sexual partners they have had, one man says he has only been with his wife, and the other says that he has been with lots of women and suggests organizing an orgy and the other man says he isn't interested.
 A woman comes out of a bathroom buttoning up the top buttons of her blouse and it is implied she just had sex with a man (the man walks out a few moments later, fully clothed). A man and a woman dance closely.
 We see a man shirtless in a bubble bath. A woman wears a tight knit top (there's no detail or cleavage).
 A woman invites a man upstairs to have sex (the man declines the offer).
