Successful, powerful and beautiful, dealmaker Christine Letellier has it all -- including the one thing standing between her and a perfect place to live; hated neighbor Jeff Wallace. Christine and her powerhouse finance Jonathan have plans to expand her dream condo into a duplex large enough to house both of their egos -- but thus far, her efforts have been thwarted by the equally stubborn Jeff – who just happens to be renting the cherished unit just above hers. As though they relish their conflict, Christine and Jeff’s game of cat and mouse gets out of hand - then runs amok when Jeff receives an unexpected invitation to his ex-wife’s wedding. Desperate to prove his worth to his former spouse, Jeff turns to Christine for a deal. They turn more than a couple of heads when she poses as his fiancé! But, despite her underhanded intentions, the wedding gives Christine a different viewpoint on the simple pleasures in life - and on Jeff. It takes Jonathan’s deceitful eviction of Jeff from the upstairs apartment for Christine to realize where her heart really lies - causing her to re-negotiate her “deal” with The Neighbor. [More]

Modine does what he can to sell the flimsy premise, but he's so hamstrung by Eddie O'Flaherty and J.P. Davis' sketchy script -- not to mention by O'Flaherty's clumsy direction -- that it's a losing battle.

Laroque has starred in dozens of these featherweight comedies in France, but this material forces her to new grades of mildness. Even during shouting matches with Modine, her emotional pitch rarely exceeds a middling 25 MPH.
