Joe (Matthew Perry) is a process server, meaning he tracks down people who don't want to go to court and hands them subpoenas. He is contracted to serve Sara Moore (Elizabeth Hurley), who doesn't realize she is about to be divorced from her cattle baron husband, Gordon (Bruce Campbell). See, if Gordon files first in Texas, Sara will get nothing. But if she files in New York, she'll get half of the $20 million estate. Joe agrees to help her turn the tables in exchange for 10% of her settlement, but doesn't count on a vengeful rival (Vincent Pastore) trying to gum up the works.
I saw this on cable with my mom in probably 2004 or 2005 but we didn't catch the beginning of it. I was sold because it had Liz Hurley and it was cute enough. This watch, however... yikes on bikes. Campbell comes out the best here with supporting turns from Terry Crews and Amy Adams. Perry and Hurley have no chemistry together, although Hurley is doing her level best. There's only so far hotness can take you.
It's streaming on Freevee, Amazon's ad-supported service, but I can't really recommend it. Everyone involved has made better movies and life is only so long.
