How Do You Know is a 2010 romantic comedy-drama film directed and written by James L. Brooks. The film's main character is Lisa Jorgenson (played by Reese Witherspoon), a professional softball player who is cut from the USA national team. Lisa is also facing pressure from her father (played by Jack Nicholson) to figure out her career and personal life.
As Lisa navigates these challenges, she finds herself caught in a love triangle between two very different men. The first is Matty (played by Owen Wilson), a charming but self-absorbed professional baseball player who is not ready for a serious relationship. The other is George (played by Paul Rudd), a corporate executive who is struggling to save his company from a federal investigation and is facing a potential prison sentence.
At first, Lisa is enamored with Matty's carefree attitude and athleticism, but she soon realizes that his selfishness and lack of commitment are not what she wants in a partner. Meanwhile, George, who is stuck in a dead-end relationship with his pregnant girlfriend, begins to develop feelings for Lisa and tries to win her over.
As Lisa tries to figure out what she wants in life, she becomes increasingly invested in George's personal and professional struggles. She also learns more about herself and her own goals, eventually deciding to pursue a new career path outside of sports.
The film explores themes of self-discovery, love, and the challenges faced in balancing personal and professional life. With a talented cast and a thoughtful storyline, How Do You Know offers a fresh and entertaining take on the classic romantic comedy.
