Teddy Jackson is full of energy and industry, but he seems to mess up every promising idea with his ineptitude. During a weekend break with his wife, he is mistaken for a ruthless hitman/enforcer only known as the Man from Toronto. This formulaic buddy action comedy brings together two very different characters; one is a bumbling nincompoop who is black, the other is a grumpy and serious tough guy who is white. The premise is somewhat promising, but Hart and Harrelson lack chemistry and the movie is never as funny as it thinks it is.
