Synopsis: This is a full plot summary because I don’t know how familiar everyone is with the story of Madame Bovary Based on “U+UR Hand” by P!NK and Madame Bovary. Set in 2050; Lady Delish starts with Charlie (Ashton Kutcher). He becomes a gynecologist and begins his practice in the Windy Whistle, a city. He marries a rich widow Helen (Reese Witherspoon), who dies soon after in a car accident. A year later, he marries Lady Delish (Kirsten Dunst), the daughter of one of his clients, Mother Delish (Helesn Hunt). She is young, sexy, slutty and pretty, and Charlie is obsessed with her. After a few weeks of marriage, promiscuous Lady Delish begins to find Charlie boring. Charlie is too dull to understand her passionate romantic needs. However she soon finds out that she is pregnant with a daughter Brittany (Elle Fanning).

After a few years Lady Delish’s romantic desires grow when an old “client”/pimp in her past, named Daddy Dick (Ryan Phillipe) comes to the city. The two have interests, but their relationship is not growing, and Daddy leaves to New York. After he leaves, Lady Delish is in major depression and becomes very irritable. Soon she meets Rodney (Jude Law). He easily convinces Lady Delish to have an adulterous relationship with him. For a while things are terrific, and neither can have enough of the other. However, Lady Delish's romantic ways begin to anger Rodney.

When Lady Delish wants to run away with Rodney, he bets her to the chase and abandons her. Lady Delish becomes disastrous. She does nothing except lay in bed for weeks. After her depression she becomes religious to steal money from Father Abe (Clint Eastwood). She uses the money to go to New York, and meets up again with Daddy Dick, and their love sparks again. After the affair with Rodney, she plunges into a tumultuous relationship with Daddy Dick.

Not thinking, Lady Delish borrows money from the fast-taking moneylender, Louie (Orlando Bloom). She satisfies him with everything, electronics, clothes, and love. Experienced, she begins to dominate Daddy, who comes to resent her. When this affair fails, Lady Delish becomes frustrated. Furthermore, she is in a lot of debt. She begins to receive notices on the amounts she has borrowed and not repaid. Eventually, Lady Delish one night gets threatened by a Hitman (Mickey Rourke) demanding payment of her debts within twenty-four hours. She begins to get scared, as she has not told her husband of her debt. Lady Delish’s only hope is upon Justin (Shia LaBeouf), a pharmacist. She gets Justin into giving her the key to the storage room, where she swallows arsenic.

Lady Delish’s death is long and painful. (She is now played by Elizabeth Daily). Her death only temporarily stalls the total ruin of Charlie. Later Lady Delish dies, and the IRS come. Charlie can’t pay these debts. He becomes bankrupt and leaves the Windy Whistle. He soon finds out about his wife's cheating, but he is not angry. He spends time with his daughter, who he loves. She finds him dead in the house. Brittany, now orphaned is sent to live with Mother Delish.
