Ladies' man Darnell Wright (Martin Lawrence) is used to getting his way with women. Although he is committed to marrying his longtime love, Mia (Regina King), he can't help himself when he meets the beautiful and standoffish Brandi (Lynn Whitfield). After bedding and then trying to ditch Brandi, Darnell is in for an unpleasant surprise: the unhinged Brandi is not about to let Darnell dump her, and she will do anything to exact revenge on him for tossing her aside.

Sluggishly paced and too seldom funny...

The script lacks wit and depth, while Lawrence's direction is meandering and undramatic, full of showy, over-elaborate camera movements.

Too serious to be a comedy, too flippant to be a thriller, it often feels like a backhanded act of penance for the misogynist humor in the star's comedy act.

Very uneven film. Bad writing, poor performances, and a movie that just never comes together.

Critics only 12%, seriously? Critics in the name of Jesus Christ stop hating and lying. Acts 10:34 (King James Version) God is no respecter of persons. The movie is five stars hands down or four at the very least critics.

My only favorite part is when they are riding horses in the forest and he falls I thought that was funny, other than that not too great of a movie

The best part of this film is the ending because she's not crazy enough and he's not a good playboy with a plot that's a joke on everyone.
