Their coworker, Bobby, doesn't believe in the rule, but he gives in when sexy waitress Monica (Maria Bello) comes on to him. After their tryst, she tells him that she videotaped it and wants $60,000 for the video or she's going to send it to his wife. After exhausting all other options, Bobby believes that the only way out of this sticky situation might be murder. [More]

None of it is that funny or suspenseful, and all the characters are far from sympathetic.

I was more than 100 miles away from home when I saw this movie, so I wasn't sure if it counted... The more bizarre the situation gets, the funnier it is - with 'movie violence' and classic physical comedy.
