Storyline

Bill is unhappy: he has married a banker's daughter and has a dead end job at the bank; his wife Jess is tied to daddy's wallet; and, Bill is developing a gut from lack of exercise and constantly eating candy bars. He dreams of buying a donut franchise to be independent of Jess's dad. Bill is roped into a mentoring program at his old prep school, assigned a smart-mouthed kid who pops up when least expected. When Jess starts an affair with Chip, a local TV personality and vain Rob Lowe look-alike, it sends Bill, the kid, and a young sales clerk from a lingerie shop on a quest to win back Jess and get the donuts. What about self-respect? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

what kind of movie is this???
23 February 2013 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

is this a male in marriage midlife crisis movie?

is this a slapstick comedy?

is this a teen sex flick?

is this a tween fantasy movie?

i do not know.

but i do know it ain't funny because it's trying to be funny and comes across as just stupid. the story rambles on putting 'bill' in one goofy situation after another and then has a serious finish.

not much else to be said about this attempt at comedy/drama/sex/slapstick/idiosyncrasy bomb of a film.

forget it!
