Former actor Bill Williams (played by Tom Arnold) is about to commit suicide because his career is ruined. He throws away all his stuff and gives his clothes to a poor alcoholic. The man drinks Bill’s vodka and takes half of his pills messing up his suicide plan and takes off. Bill drinks his alcohol and then takes the pills not knowing he won’t die. He then lies down in the bathtub and closes his eyes. Three days later a demented film agent named Johnny Bernstein (played by Henry Winkler) shows up at the apartment with a business offer for him. He says a billionaire, Davis Roman (played by Joe Mantegna) will hire Bill to write and co-star in a movie exactly like True Lies so that his son, Aaron Roman (played by Eric Gores), whose favorite film is True Lies, can live out his dream of being an actor and star of an action movie. Not knowing much about the boy or the billionaire, Bill agrees to do the project since he would make thousands by the end of the movie.
Later at the park, Bill meets the drinker who took his drugs and alcohol. The man shows himself as Guy Prince (played by Richard Edson), a broke loser who hasn’t had a job in almost 13 years. Bill finds out he has a lot in common with Guy and asks him if he wants to act in the movie. Guy agrees, and he becomes Bill’s unconventional “best” friend.
Johnny, Bill and Guy later show up at the lavish Roman mansion after meeting with Davis and his wife, Shelby (played by Shannon Elizabeth). They are a nice people, making Bill think they have a nice normal son. However, when Aaron shows up Bill becomes uncomfortable and assumes he will be making a bad film with a mentally impaired person. He quickly attempts to back out of the offer when his ex-wife producer Susan Mandeville (played by Linda Hamilton) comes in with a whole crew of stage hands and tells everybody she will be producing the movie. Shortly after she shows up, Davis gives Bill a talk about how normal Aaron is despite him being diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Bill remembering how much money he will receive agrees to make the movie again. Aaron is a tenacious boy and is happy to see Bill in person. He quickly tells Bill about his interesting ideas about the movie as they begin to write the script. Although some of Aaron’s ideas were unrealistic Bill becomes confident they will be able to shoot the movie. Aaron decides to call the movie Two Spies. Guy is enjoying himself as well as he flirts with the local women and spends time drinking all the Roman’s free beer and wine. Aaron tells Bill he wants to kiss a beautiful women at the end of his movie in a hot tub. He has his actress/model crush, Arielle Kebbel in mind. Bill without knowing the circumstances agrees to the idea.
Susan helps keep the movie on track by taking the production to a big movie studio in California. The filming of Two Spies quickly begins. Actors quickly show up including one Arielle Kebbel, which pleases a lovestruck Aaron. An overweight pushy police woman becomes Bill’s girlfriend in the movie. Guy plays a character named Lester Loser who gets his behind blown in by a large bomb foreign villains created. Aaron’s character rescues a dog and gives it back to government officials it belongs to. Bill is happy with the movie’s progress until he finds out it will only be shown at Aaron’s birthday party and not world wide. He quickly becomes depressed and angry with himself again. To make matters worse, Aaron forgot he was allergic to dogs and gets sick. His overprotective furious mother Bonnie, finds out about his illness and comes to the mansion to take Aaron back home with her for the rest of the summer. She convinces him that Bill is a bad man and Aaron begins to think so. He leaves on the plane to live with his mother for the rest of the year until the next summer. Davis still offers to pay Bill for the incomplete movie but he honestly refuses to take the money. Guy and Bill quickly leave the area. Guy begins to throw all his money away on beer and becomes a broke man living in a trailer attached to a car again. A distraught Bill avoids all contact with Susan and begins to plan his second suicide attempt. Read more
