Storyline

When Ricky Miller, a single, quiet 40-year old aspiring writer and manager of Debbie's (think Denny's) and probably the last person you'd notice in a crowd is 'hit by lightning' and meets the love of his life, the beautiful Danita on E-Happily.com, he is catapulted into a relationship online but it's a lot more than what he bargained for - this includes being asked to kill! Hounded by his best friend Seth who thinks no "10" would even go out with a guy like Ricky unless she had ulterior motives (or needed glasses), Ricky starts to get skeptical himself. Turns out, Danita confesses she's actually married to a handsome affable crime novelist and former Rabbi, Ben Jacobs. Is Danita telling Ricky the truth when she says wants to leave her husband but fears for her life if she does? Will Ricky go through with the plan to kill him so he and Danita can live happily ever after? Written by Official site

Hilarious, Hilarious, Hilarious!
9 May 2015 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

We just rented this DVD, now we are going to have to buy it to rewatch again and again. This movie is hilarious from beginning to end! Jon Cryer and Will Sasso are absolutely hilarious. (Will Sasso is like David Koechner - you love every character he plays!) This film is as funny as 2 "modern" classic comedies "Rock Slyde" and "No Clue". Great cast, story, editing. Not a dull moment! Although it's a comedy, it has a mystery weaved into the story and that part will leave you on the edge of your seat! Highly recommend this movie to anyone who loves comedy and loves to laugh! Would love to see Jon and Will teamed up again!
