When his sexy single friend Nikki Tru (Kerry Washington) that he has not seen since he was single stumbles in his office in Manhattan asking for a recommendation letter for a job, Chris has lots of fun with her, but he omits her visit to Brenda. Their marriage is in crisis due to the lack of sex, and Richard is feeling completely bored and dreaming on having sex everywhere with other women. The suburban middle class investment banker and family man Richard Cooper (Chris Rock) has been married for eight years with his wife Brenda (Gina Torres) and they have two children. It's ultimate stance on marital commitment and the perils of infidelity are admirable indeed. Nevertheless, it will do for an evening's entertainment or, more importantly, it would make a great counseling tool for those considering marriage in the near future. All in all, this movie is not without humor or good messages yet can not be declared an outright winner. Beware, however, of some strong language from time to time, as the F-bomb is tossed around on occasion. Costumes, sets, and production values are high. The two main female leads are colossally beautiful and arresting individuals, adding greatly to the movie's enjoyment. The rest of the cast is very fine, with Steve Buscemi giving a nice little performance as a scummy colleague of Richard's. The trouble is, of course, that the film's comic moments are not in overabundance. Just watch him cave into smoking a weed at a party or have a semi-serious encounter with a Viagra pill and you will be very mirthful. Rock is a talented actor and he makes the most of the script's humorous situations. Should he risk an affair? This is an occasionally funny film with very attractive performers. Richard toys with the idea, because it's true that his sex life at home has waned, what with the ongoing decisions about the children and the wall sconces for the living room. ![]() Nikki is lovely beyond words and makes a big play for him, promising a supercharged sexual liaison. However, when a beautiful female acquaintance from former years crosses his path again, he begins to wonder if he is indeed missing something. He is a successful banking executive in New York City, lives in a posh home in the suburbs, and has the proverbial gorgeous wife and two kids. Richard (Chris Rock) appears to have it all.
