How do siblings deal with each other in their targets? This is the question tackled in this movie. Blue-collar Mickey drives a New York taxicab since the breakup with his promiscuous ex-fiancée Heather two years ago. His younger white-collar brother Francis cannot let Mickey forget the tragedy of the "hairy ass" (Mickey's image of his apartment floor of the guy having sex with Heather after walking in on them). Finding relief in driving his cab, Mickey meets an art student named Hope--and marries her after knowing her for only 24 hours. Mickey also meets Heather again and learns more about life itself as taxi fares in the course of a summer. Francis, a young Wall Street corporate raider, unhappy in his marriage to Renee and led by his infidelity, continues his shots at Mickey throughout the film, only to find himself a plot device that lends humor and lessons about marriage and brotherhood when he meets and starts an dangerous affair with Heather, despite Mickey's warnings that Heather is a gold-digging nymphomaniac who goes through sexual partners as often as anyone else changes clothes. Given Mickey's frame of reference on the past and his bride of 24 hours, no wonder the two brothers, along with their father--an ego-eccentric and emotionally bereft bigot and hard-core chauvinist who does not allow women aboard his fishing boat--learn about the strength of women, and their own lives.
