Summaries

A workaholic needs a date for a dinner with new important clientele, but who his brother sets him up with could lead to disaster.

Walter Davis is a workaholic. His attention is all to his work and very little to his personal life or appearance. Now he needs a date to take to his company's business dinner with a new important Japanese client. His brother sets him up with his wife's cousin Nadia, who is new in town and wants to socialize, but he was warned that if she gets drunk, she loses control and becomes wild. How will the date turn out - especially when they encounter Nadia's ex-boyfriend David?—Sami Al-Taher <[email protected]>

Conscientious employee Walter Davis is willing to go the extra mile to ensure that he will nail his next presentation. With this in mind, unsociable Walter works night and day crunching numbers, only to realise that his uneventful life will always stand in the way of success unless he finds the perfect escort to take to the company's make-or-break dinner. However, as Walter lets his brother fix him up with Nadia Gates, a statuesque, sensitive blonde bombshell coming with a warning, an endless night of booze-addled chaos unfolds. And to think that sweet Nadia seemed such a nice person. But can one blind date ruin one's life entirely?—Nick Riganas

In Los Angeles, the competent bachelor Walter Davis works in an agency that is closing a contract with the company owned by the wealthy Japanese Mr. Yakamoto. His boss Harry Gruen invites his team to go to a business dinner with their wives since Mr. Yakamoto is a traditional Japanese. Walter does not find any available companionship and asks his brother, Ted "Teddy" Davis, if his wife Susie Davis could go with him, but they have an anniversary to go. Susie suggests her friend Nadia Gates to a blind date. His brother warns that Nadia cannot drink alcoholic beverage since she loses control and becomes wild. Walter accepts and arrives earlier at the hotel where he meets her. They go to a museum first since they have time, where Nadia meets her obsessive ex-boyfriend, the defense lawyer David Bedford, who stalks her everywhere. They flee from David and go to a studio, where Walter's friend and guitar player is recording. Walter opens a bottle of champagne to celebrate their dating and forces Nadia to drink a little, in the beginning of a wild night of adventures since Nadia is affected by the drink.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
