Starring Steve Martin, Queen Latifah and Eugene Levy Directed by Adam Shankman Peter Sanderson (Martin) is a divorced, uptight attorney who is still trying to get over his ex-wife. He soon has a newfound love, a brainy barrister he's been chatting with on-line. However, on their first face-to-face meeting he discovers that she isn't refined, isn't Ivy League and isn't even a lawyer. Instead, it's Charlene (Latifah), a prison escapee who wants Peter to help clear her name. Peter wants nothing to do with her, prompting the loud and outspoken Charlene to turn Peter's perfectly ordered life completely upside down.
