Yet, as he puts his plan into motion, little does he or anyone else realize the ramifications of getting involved with Eva and having her fall for him and vice-versa.
Ray is reluctant, but needs the money and thus agrees to the $5,000 arrangement.
Accordingly, the men hire delivery driver and near legendary ladies man Ray Adams (LL COOL J) to make Eva fall for him and thus get her out of their lives.
That's because the women's older sister, Eva (GABRIELLE UNION), is as uncompromising with her opinion of those men as she is with her job as a restaurant health inspector. PLOT: Tim (MEL JACKSON), Darrell (DARTANYAN EDMONDS) and Mike (DUANE MARTIN) may have good tastes in women, but their marriages and engagement to the Dandridge sisters - Kareenah (ESSENCE ATKINS), Jacqui (MEAGAN GOOD) and Bethany (ROBINNE LEE) respectively - are not as fulfilling or enjoyable as they'd like. QUICK TAKE: Romantic Comedy: Several men hire a ladies man to distract and get their meddlesome and perfectionist sister-in-law out of their lives by making her fall for him.
