Seth and Richie Gecko (George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino respectively) have just wandered into the wrong bar to meet a local rounder, after crossing the border with the kidnapped family of Jacob Fuller (Harvey Keitel) and his two children, Kate (Juliette Lewis) and Scott (Ernest Liu). It soon becomes apparent that maybe they made a mistake but they’re not the type to back away from anything. However, they have second thoughts when Richie looks at Seth through a bullet hole in his hand. But now is not the time so out comes the duct tape and he wraps it up.

Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) is a sports agent working for a big agency who has a crisis of faith. As a result, he authors a mission statement for the sports management business and how he believes that it should operate. After circulating it to all staff, he’s applauded by his fellow employees who are touched by the honesty of the document but the owners want him fired. Jerry is clearing out his desk and calls upon others to join him but the only one to take up the banner is Dorothy Bird (Renée Zellweger). It’s easy to figure out how many can talk the talk but hesitate to walk the walk.

How do you get your parents to listen to you? They’re too busy to take the time you need to explain why your life sucks. Some advice would help. So why not lock them in the basement. ‘Grover’ Beindorf (Kyle Howard) and his buddies stock the cellar and barricade the door after luring his parents, Janet (Jamie Lee Curtis) and Ned (Kevin Pollak) down there. It gives them time to realize why they together and why they want to stay that way.

It is tough to be the hero who rescues the damsel in distress when neither the captive nor the capturer takes you seriously. Mind you, the whole hero thing might be a little more convincing if you weren’t wearing a purple jumpsuit with matching cap. The Phantom (Billy Zane) sets out to rescue Diana Palmer (Kristy Swanson) who has been kidnapped by Quill (James Remar) and his henchmen, err…, henchwomen. He scuttles up a bow line and leaps into the porthole only to find himself in a women’s shower. After an apology, he comes upon a trussed up Diana being stripped of her boots by Sala by a luger-toting Sala (Catherine Zeta-Jones). He disarms Sala who, instead of flinching, thrusts her tongue down his throat to check for kidney stones. Diana, now free, is asked to tie up Sala but instead decides a left cross works better. She thanks him and leads the escape off the boat. Somewhat chagrined, he convinces her to let him take over the lead and both are recaptured.

Girls. They always spoil things. Just when a guy and a dragon have a good scam going, fleecing unsuspecting villages for cash by killing a rampaging monster, along comes Kara (Dina Meyer) to toss a wrench into the works.. Sure, she has had it tough. The aristos have killed her dad. The town has sacrificed her to placate the dragon and he has swanned off carrying her to his lair for what the town hopes is lunch. But it turns out that Kara and Draco, the dragon, get along swimmingly and Bowen (Dennis Quaid) is left to cool his jets while the two of them witter on.

Sometimes help appears from the most unlikely sources. Jill Kendall (Nicole Freeman) is in Miami after fleeing an abusive boyfriend and her unsupportive parents, when she drops by a cabaret for lunch. There she meets Mona (Girlina) and Billee (Candis Cayne) who call themselves “gender illusionists” and take her under their wing. She’s looking for a career in modelling and her angels know all of the do’s and don’ts to help her along. But as she gets rich and famous, Jill is the target for all those who want a piece of of her. But she doesn’t forget who was on her side at the start.

It is a classic dilemma. Howard W. Campbell (Nick Nolte) is a German sympathizer, a writer and spokesman who promotes the Nazi agenda. He is considered a celebrity with the Reich and a propagandist in America. He also works as a spy for the Americans. But his handlers disappear and he has no proof of what he does or has done. How can he prove his worth when nobody believes he had the best of democratic intentions.

How long can you hold on to an idea before it slips into the dangerous territory of obsession? An incident can eat away at you until nothing else about the circumstances matter until you set it right. But it makes you meshuggah. Should you let it go? Of course, but that is easier said than done. Mickey Fitzpatrick (Edward Burns) is one of those people. Three years after finding out that his ex, Heather Davis (Cameron Diaz), slept with another guy (he found the pair passed out together), his only regret in breaking up with her was not taking his TV. He decides he wants it now. Not to be outdone, Heather demands his watch, a gift from her.
