Fox also stars in the movie as Lysterine. The story starts when Bunz and Rushon make a pact to lose their virginity with their girlfriends that same night. However, things go awry when Nikki decides to play hard to get and Lysterine tries to get Bunz to commit to a serious relationship. Rushon tries his best to win over Nikki by being a gentleman, but Bunz is more interested in fulfilling his sexual urges rather than building a relationship with Lysterine.

As the night progresses, their plan to have a romantic evening turns into a comedy of errors as they encounter a series of mishaps and awkward situations. Along the way, they face numerous challenges including overcoming their own misgivings, interracial relationships, and sexualities.

The film's humor is mainly driven by the banter between the two lead characters. Jamie Foxx and Tommy Davidson's on-screen chemistry is hilarious, and they play off each other very well. The movie is incredibly funny with its fart jokes, sexual humor, and physical comedy. The characters are exaggerated versions of stereotypes we have all come across, which makes the movie an entertaining watch.

These iconic lines have stayed with the viewers and became synonymous with the movie itself. Additionally, the movie features an incredible soundtrack that includes artists such as LSG, En Vogue, and SWV.

Despite the movie's raunchy humor, the characters and their relationships are somewhat endearing.
