The Best You Can is a romantic comedy revolving around Cynthia Rand, portrayed by Kyra Sedgwick, a meticulous New Yorker who liberally feels her marriage strain under the realities of her older husband's advancing age. The plot thickens with the introduction of Stan Olszewski, played by Kevin Bacon, a sharp yet perennially underachieving security guard whose presence brings an unexpected twist to her life. This film marks the notable on-screen reunion of Sedgwick and Bacon after two decades.
