Ira & Abby is a 2006 American romantic comedy film directed by Robert Cary and written by Jennifer Westfeldt.

The film stars Chris Messina and Westfeldt in the title roles, and co-stars Fred Willard, Frances Conroy, Jason Alexander, Robert Klein, and Judith Light.

After Abby gives Ira a tour of the gym, they spend the next six hours talking in an unused yoga room.

Ira's parents are upset that it's not Leah, and Abby's are extremely excited and begin to plan their daughter's wedding right away.

When they attempt to return to Ira's apartment to enjoy their wedding night, the car they hired breaks down, leading them to get mugged at gunpoint, though they are unharmed.

They attend the movies and awkwardly run into Leah, which brings Ira's worries about Abby to the front of his mind.

Guilt-racked Ira returns home to find Abby sobbing on their couch, afraid that he was cheating and emotionally rattled from her dinner.

The site’s critics consensus reads, "Ira & Abby overcomes the somewhat clichéd plot with witty dialogue and earnest performances.

"[3] In a positive review, Jeannette Catsoulis of The New York Times wrote, "Though playing at times like an extended sitcom, Ira & Abby radiates a breathless charm, due in no small part to Ms. Westfeldt’s sharp dialogue and engagingly unmannered performance.

"[4] In The Boston Globe, Wesley Morris wrote "the crazy coincidences are unbearably mechanical", but praised Westfeldt’s performance.
