action

Marcus Graham is a successful advertising professional who is considered a womanizer. When it comes to the position of senior manager in the advertising agency, he sleeps with the aging advertising face of the Lady Eloise brand, believing that this will secure the campaign. But things turn out differently and Jacqueline Broyer becomes his new manager. Graham and Broyer have an affair that the woman considers inconsequential. But Graham falls in love with her and feels for the first time how his love affairs are going after one night with him.

After an argument with Jacqueline, she moves away from him and makes him the joke of the whole company. His devoted colleague Angela notices that Graham's work is suffering from Jacqueline's tactics and asks her to stop. Graham, meanwhile, gives the ambitious director of the commercial a free hand, and the result is shocking. The management wants to fire Marcus, but Jacqueline saves Graham from losing his job.

Graham and his colleague Angela Lewis get closer and begin an affair. But the womanizer makes a mistake and ends up with Jacqueline Broyer again. This leads to the premature end of the relationship with Angela Lewis. Marcus Graham only now realizes how he feels about Angela. At the end, Marcus and Angela get closer again.

Reviews

Joe Brown wrote in the Washington Post that Eddie Murphy's portrayal was "appealing". He was "tirelessly" funny and one could like him. Brown mentioned the high number of cameo roles by well-known actors.

The lexicon of international film wrote that the film was a "boring dream world cinema without any real reference to reality, but with a good deal of obscenity." The “full familiar story” reveals “at best the lack of comedic talent of its main actor”.
