Stand up comedian Terry played by Martin Lawrence ("Bad Boys II," "Big Mommas House") is a local funny man who is in trouble. He can't pay his $67 phone bill. He drives a car that has only one gear, reverse. He is struggling trying to make it at a local comedy club called Dukie's. He is messing around with the owner's wife in an attempt to get more attention at the club. It turns out that the owner, Dukie played by John Witherspoon ("Friday," "Next Friday"), is trying to hook up with the star attraction of his club, Aretha. Aretha is a self-important diva, the kind of empowered, uplifted black woman who feels secure in her abilities and possibilities and she has a huge boyfriend who promises to hurt anybody he catches laughing at his love. What follows is a night of comedy, romance, comedy, action, comedy, and Terry trying to get the $67.
