Ryan Turner (Charlie Sheen) is a womanizing hard driving stockbroker. The big publisher CEO Donald Simpson double-crosses him by feeding him false information taking revenge for sleeping with his wife. Ryan loses his clients, his money, his job and even his broker's license. He is forced to live with his self-involved girlfriend Cindy (Denise Richards). She had enough of his poverty and leaves him. Without any prospects, he takes over her badly written advice column for her paycheque. He must pretend that Cindy is still writing at home to her boss Page Hensen (Angie Harmon). At first, he's just as bad as she was. Eventually he starts trying. His best friend Barry Sherman (Jon Lovitz) and wife Cathy (Rosanna Arquette) aren't the most stable. When the column starts to get traction, everybody wants a piece including Cindy and CEO Simpson.
This is not a good movie. Charlie Sheen is not light rom-com material. If you question this notion, check this movie out and you'll see. The story is nothing to write home about but it's not that bad either. The setup is awkward. The jokes aren't funny. I didn't laugh once. Jon Lovitz and Rosanna Arquette come closest to being funny. Charlie Sheen just isn't that guy. It's not a bad thing. Most actors can't do everything.
