A man who writes the book on ending a romance runs into rough sledding while starting a new one in this
comedy.
Quincy (
Jamie Foxx) is a magazine editor whose life takes an unexpected turn for the worse when his fiancée,
Helen (
Bianca Lawson), decides to give him some interesting news at their engagement party -- she's breaking up with him. A few days later,
Quincy's boss,
Phillip (
Peter MacNicol), gives him the task of cutting manpower in his department by 15 percent; too emotionally beaten to fire anyone,
Quincy responds by quitting his job. Deeply depressed,
Quincy begins writing a letter to
Helen to explain his feelings, but as he analyses his emotions, his notes take a different turn, and
Quincy decides to write a book about how to painlessly break up with someone. The book becomes a smash best-seller, and
Quincy's friends begin turning to him for advice on the subject of getting out of relations.
Quincy's cousin
Evan (
Morris Chestnut) is eager to call things off with his girlfriend,
Nicky (
Gabrielle Union), and asks him to do the dirty work for him; however,
Evan begins to have second thoughts when he discovers
Quincy has fallen for her.
