action

Sherman 'Tank' Turner is handsome, completely ruthless, and has a punch with women. That is why he is hired by men who have been abandoned by their girlfriends: on a rendezvous with these women, he behaves so rowdy that they usually flee back into the arms of their ex.

Even when Tank's best friend Dustin gets stuck with his great love Alexis, Tank wants to help him. Dustin doesn't want to see the Womanizer around his beloved. It is only when she is flirting with a colleague that he asks Tank to take action. Alexis, however, is unusually tough and promptly falls in love with Tank - the misfortune takes its course. Alexis and Tank end up in bed together, and Dustin tries desperately to be friends with her. Tank is not thrilled that Alexis has fallen in love with him; he tries to save Dustin's friendship.

Dustin, in turn, is hurt and tells Alexis the whole truth. She hates both of them and breaks off relationships with both of them. Tank, meanwhile also in love with Alexis, wants to win her back. She rejects him. Only after three months do they see each other again, argue violently, and then lie in each other's arms, which indicates that they are starting a relationship. A love between Dustin and the attractive Ami is suggested.

Reviews

Michael Ordoña wrote in the Los Angeles Times on September 22, 2008 that the film was not only unoriginal, but also sexist and offered "painfully few laughs". Above all, it is unforgettable that the film is “just not funny”.

“There's a cheap thrill in watching Hudson defuse Cook's pig antics with some foulness of her own. I don't know, for instance, how far it advances the cause of women at the movies to enjoy watching Hudson shout along to one of 2 Live Crew's skank odes. ”

“There is a cheap thrill in watching Hudson defuse Cook's pig antics with a filth that is her own. It remains unclear, for example, how far it takes the cause of women to have fun in the cinema watching Hudson roar along to one of 2 live crews slut songs. "
