SYNOPSIS Malcolm (Anthony Anderson), a successful and wealthy businessman with plenty of attitude to spare, has made more than his share of enemies over the years, including his soon-to-be ex-wife (Kellita Smith) and his overworked, under-appreciated employees. Not wanting to go through a messy and expensive divorce played out in the media, Malcolm devises a plan to save his money from his wife’s eager hands. Along with the help of his mistress, Peaches (Regina Hall), Malcolm plots his own kidnapping in order to secure a fictitious ransom so high that, once paid, the public will think he’s broke and unable to meet his wife’s financial demands. But, unbeknownst to Malcolm, he’s not the only one with a kidnapping plan. Not only his wife but also one of his long-suffering employees (Nicole Parker) and a dim-witted local bumpkin (Jay Mohr) have all cooked up separate schemes of their own, each more ridiculous than the next. DVD SPECIAL FEATURES · Audio commentary with actors Anthony Anderson and Jay Mohr and director Jeff Byrd · More than 20 deleted scenes · Gag reel · “Down and Dirty” – Behind-the-scenes documentary · Widescreen (1.85:1) version of the film · Theatrical trailer · DVD-ROM enabled “Script-to-Screen” program · Photo galleries · Dolby Digital 5.1 · Stereo Surround Sound 2.0 · English subtitles and closed captions · Spanish subtitles -more- |
