Plot summary

After more than a year fantasying about asking out his co worker, Stanley (Luke Wilson) finally asks Diana Evans (Denise Richards) out on a date. As the two venture out on their first date, Stanley hits a homeless man Phil (Jay Lacopo) with his car, and the events that follow are far from the night of romance that Stanley had planned. While this all is happening, Stan's co-workers, including his friend, Michael (Ben Affleck) are monitoring the date between Stan and Diana and they are betting on how far Stan will get with the beautiful Diana.
