[edit] Plot
- Tagline: True love can be a very dangerous thing.
Colleen (Sarah Jessica Parker) is convinced that boyfriend Dick (Johnny Knoxville) is cheating on her. Things go from bad to worse when she accidentally kills him. However, Dick was supposed to have been killed by Daniel Gallagher (Harry Connick Jr).
Daniel is a hitman in the Irish Mafia, only he can't make himself kill anyone, and he dreams of becoming an Irish tenor. But he's not sure he has the talent, since his ex-girlfriend Mary (Claudia Schiffer) didn't seem to enjoy his singing. Besides, his Irish brother in law Jared O'Reilly (Craig Ferguson) insists he continue his career as a hitman, or else.
Colleen and Daniel fall in love, she helps him (since she has a previously unknown talent for murder), while detectives are trying to solve the case of who murdered Dick.
