The film stars Hall, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Downey Jr., Bobbie Phillips, and Judd Nelson.

The film follows Julius Caesar McGruder, a would-be rock star who makes a bet with his girlfriend's father to be able to continue dating her.

At the party, Buffer’s father, Mr. Bidwell, clearly explains to Julius how much he doesn’t like him and offers him money to stay away from his daughter.

On the first day of his job, Julius meets the factory’s manager, Pete Dewitt, and is automatically disliked by his coworkers.

When Julius returns to his home, he learns that the Venus de Milo statue he owns is real and worth a fortune.
