Peter Sanderson is a brilliant lawyer and may live a troubled life because of his divorce from his wife. Peter begins his life again by looking for another woman after divorcing his first wife but finds it difficult to meet the women. Things change when Peter meets an online woman who happens to be in prison. After a short while, that girl tries to be with Peter until she begins to wreak havoc on the life of that simple lawyer.
It's a wheezing, rusted machine of cheap jokes, cartoon performances, and crummy plotting, using shock value and insensitivity to make its painfully unfunny points.
You have somebody as smart as Steve Martin, and as smart and appealing as Queen Latifah in a movie like this. To have such an awful, offensive story is a real disappointment.

You're better off ignoring this junk and saving your time.
It's a sorry situation when actors as talented and funny as Queen Latifah and Steve Martin waste their efforts in an offensive exercise that feels like a bad sitcom.
Everything about this film is painfully familiar, except, perhaps, for the vicious-but-comic catfight between Latifah and Missi Pyle, who plays a high-society gold digger.
