How do siblings deal with each other in their targets? This is the question tackled in this movie. Mickey (Edward Burns) drives a New York taxicab since the breakup with his promiscuous ex-fiancée Heather (Cameron Diaz) two years ago. His younger brother, Francis (Mike McGlone), cannot let Mickey forget the tragedy of the "hairy ass": (Mickey's image of his apartment floor after walking in on Heather). Finding relief in driving his cab, Mickey finds an art student named Hope (Maxine Bahns) whom he marries after knowing her for only 24 hours. Mickey also meets his old lover Heather, and learns more about life itself as taxi fares in the course of a summer. Francis, a young Wall Street corporate raider, unhappy in his marriage to Renee (Jennifer Anitson) and led by his infidelity, continues his shots at Mickey throughout the film, only to find himself a plot device that lends humor and lessons about marriage and brotherhood when he meets and starts an dangerous affair with Heather, despite Mickey's warnings that Heather is a gold-digging nymphomaniac who goes through sexual partners as ofter as a person changes clothes. Given Mickey's frame of reference on the past and his bride of 24 hours, it is no wonder that the two brothers, along with their father (John Maloney), a bigot and a chauvinist who does not allow women aboard his fishing boat, learn about the strength of women, and their own lives.
