action
Financial advisor Douglas "Dawg" Munford has affairs with numerous women. They put such stress on him that he is late for the funeral service of his late grandmother. Munford learns that he is to inherit one million US dollars - on condition that he asks his ex-lover's forgiveness and receives it. Attorney Anna Lockheart is supposed to oversee the discussions.
Munford and Lockheart choose twelve women to visit. Some of Munford's previous lovers have conditions such as Munford's tattoo. One of the women slept with him again, another got fat and never had a relationship again. The financial expert learns that he has a daughter, Lindsay Anne Wickman, whose mother has died. After all, he fulfills the testamentary condition; Lockheart promises him the inheritance.
At Lockhearts' office, Munford learns there is no heir. The lawyer is one of his former conquests; she was humiliated by him during her studies and wanted revenge. Munford tells her he'll forgive her.
Six months later, Lockheart meets Munford, who is visiting an amusement park with his daughter. They exchange a few words peacefully.

Tele.at magazine described the film as a "wonderfully blunt and romantic comedy between the sexes" that offered "a happy exchange of blows with serious tones".
