She s a supermodel who is graceful and confident in front of a camera but when she s with a man she likes her confidence slips and she becomes a klutz as she imagines herself as that tall, skinny, sixteen-year-old with braces and zits that boys used mock. That s what she sees when she gazes in a mirror and that distorted image repeatedly defeats her she trips, stumbles, spills things, and causes mishaps that cancel any romantic chance she might have with the current object of her affection. He owns a metaphysical bookstore and suffers from a virility insecurity syndrome. This malady causes him to think of himself as a loser when he s with a girl he likes he slouches, hangs his head, averts his eyes, and mumbles because he s certain he s going to foul up with the potential girl of his dreams. He and she are friends but would like to be more than that, but neither wants to risk potential failure and the loss of their friendship. They are joined by a collection of offbeat characters that help endow the story with a hefty dose of humor.
Colton Graham is furious when his partner double-crosses him by agreeing to sell the company they founded together. He is so enraged by his partner's behavior that he does something he used to do whenever he was frustrated or upset, something he'd been warned never to do again-drink alcohol. He ignores the warning, finds a saloon, and gets stinking drunk. Of course getting drunk solves nothing. That becomes clear the following morning when he awakens lying in bed in a strange bedroom. He has no idea where he is and his memory of the preceding night has been wiped out by too much whiskey. He discovers his partner's been murdered and that he's been framed to look like the killer. He is innocent but instead of turning himself in and attempting to prove his innocence he decides to go on the run. When he does the police become convinced that he's guilty of the slaying. He goes into hiding, changes his appearance, and assumes a new identity. But that doesn't work and he soon finds himself in even more trouble with seemingly no way to avoid the threat of capture and being tried for the murder he didn't commit.
Gordon “Gordo” Lacey never imagined that swimming would change his life, but a huge wave crashes down over him and drives him headfirst into an outcropping of rocks. The shock of the impact causes a severe concussion that renders him unable to remember who he is, what he does, or where he lives. He stands on a deserted beach in swim trunks without money or credit cards and no means of transportation. He wanders the beach wondering what to do when a man who seems to be a Good Samaritan befriends him. But the man is Ruben Weinert, the feared terrorist known worldwide as The Chameleon because he continually has his appearance surgically altered. Weinert concocts a fiendish scheme that takes advantage of Gordo’s fogged mind, making Gordo believe that he is the terrorist while Ruben Weinert is free to perform his murderous agenda. Gordo is so skillfully framed that now he is alone and on the run with the FBI mistakenly pursuing him instead of hunting for the real terrorist.
His house is an eyesore and a disgusting crop of weeds is in possession of its lawn and backyard. The car he drives is more than two decades old. Its engine misbehaves, its rusted tailpipe belches horrible black exhaust, its tires are bald, and its body is scraped and dented. The house and car belong to Dudley Andrews. Why does this intelligent, talented man live as if he is down to his on his luck? The answer is divorce. Yes, Dudley is burdened by all the alimony and child support he must pay. Despite having to shoulder the responsibilities of caring for all of his ex-wives and a half-dozen children, he wants to marry again, this time to the mother of his most recent ex-wife. Some might call him an incurable romantic, others might consider him foolish, but whatever they think of his desire to marry again, no one can deny he's a charming, well-intentioned man. Divorce isn't a funny subject, but Dudley has a sunny disposition, rarely broods, and continually generates plenty of humor and lots of laughs.
During the summer of 1944, after two-and-a-half years of war, American citizens on the home front were still caught up in a surge of patriotic fervor, making any sacrifice necessary to help the soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen that were engaged in combat. These people were the generation that endured the Great Depression only to be plunged into World War II. We meet four boys who are too young to be in uniform and want to do something to help the war effort. The focus is also on a young man who goes off to war and the girl he leaves behind who worries that he will perish in combat or will be maimed or crippled or will return a different man from the one she loved when he went off to war. We begin to understand what it was like to experience rationing, wartime anxieties, and the optimism and spirit of shared purpose that were central to life on America's home front during the first half of the 1940s. We meet the people who were young back then and learn that they, too, along with the fighting men, helped to save the world for democracy.
