 Everybody
wants a piece of Malcolm King... A
successful and wealthy businessmen, with plenty of attitude to
spare, Malcolm (Anthony Anderson) 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 extremely 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 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. What results is a wild,
comedic ride for Malcolm that will change his life forever. Directed
