Longtime friends Ronny and Nick are partners in an auto-design firm. They are hard at work on a presentation for a dream project that would really launch their company. Then Ronny spots Nick's wife out with another man, and in the process of investigating the possible affair, he learns that Nick has a few secrets of his own. As the presentation nears, Ronny agonizes over what might happen if the truth gets out.

If I found out that my best friend’s girl was cheating on him, immediately my phone pops out of my pocket and I am calling my wife to give the nastiest play by play.

I mean it’s not that bad. I’m a big Kevin James guy, I’m a big Vince Vaughn guy, putting them both in a movie is gonna at least give me something I’ll enjoy. Channing Tatum is great.
