Plots(1)
Oscar Novak (Perry), an architect who is desperate to receive a ninety million dollar commission from a wealthy Chicago businessman, Charles Newman (McDermott), agrees to help him out with a personal problem. Newman, mistakenly convinced that Oscar is gay, asks him to spy on his mistress, Amy (Campbell), to make sure that she doesn't fool around with her ex-boyfriend Kevin (Cozart), a confirmed stud. When Oscar meets Amy, the two unintentionally embark on a night of one bumbling misadventure after the other. Not surprisingly, he falls for her, but hides the truth for fear of being exposed. When he's selected as man of the year by a gay organization, the situation reaches its boiling point. (official distributor synopsis)

At times, it would need a little push, because many scenes are, so to speak, pointless and lack the necessary impact. What the screenwriter didn't finish, the quality actors somewhat covered up, though Matthew Perry is completely off. His silly expression and wannabe comedic gestures left me completely cold. He wasn't funny at all, and it was mainly Oliver Platt and the enchanting Neve Campbell who stole the show, gliding almost always as winners even in the most banal scenes. There are several dialogues and life lessons worth paying attention to, but otherwise, it's basically just another snack past its sell-by date with (of course) a completely expected ending, or another example of how things don't always go in life.
