[edit] Plot
A man (Steve Coogan) who runs an alibi agency, a service for adulterous husbands and wives that provides airtight alibis runs into trouble with his latest client. In order to remedy the problem, he has to rely on a very enticing woman (Rebecca Romijn), his assistant/partner. The plot thickens when he switches identities with one of his clients (James Marsden) for a weekend, and the client's girlfriend dies in an accident. With the police, an assassin, and a jealous ex-boyfriend to run from, he discovers that he'll need all the ingenuity he can muster to survive.
Note: The plot revolves a lot around the scamming of a sultan of Qatar out of 15 million (hence the assassin); however the Qatari head of state is an Emir, while other male dignitaries are Shiekhs, rather than sultans.
