Sex is messy. (Emotionally speaking. Get your minds out of the gutter.) Judd Foxman knows this as well as anybody. His wife just cheated on him. He's jumping back into a fling with his old college girlfriend, Penny. His mom just started a sexual relationship with one of her lifelong best friends—and a woman, no less. And here's Judd stuck in the middle, hormones raging harder than they have since puberty. You might end up agreeing with his mom, Hillary, when she says that sex is just about "scratching an itch." Even if you don't, you'll still find a compelling look at the nature of sex in This Is Where I Leave You.
