Men Seeking Women

Men Seeking Women

Best friends Les (Grant Shaud), Al (Will Ferrell) and Nick (Anthony Palermo), who were born 33 years ago on the same day in the same hospital, spend their collective 33rd birthday getting rejected by a variety of women in a nightclub. In desperation Les proposes a bet to try to lift them out of their romantic doldrums. He suggests they each put two thousand dollars in a bank account, with the winner being the one who can not only get a girlfriend, but also live with her for three months. Once Nick and Al reluctantly agree to the bet, bad things happen. Very bad things.
