Art curator for media tycoon Lord Lionel Shahbandar (Alan Rickman), Harry Deane (Colin Firth) plans to acquire the piece his employer longs for–Monet’s ‘Dusk’. However, Harry has no interest in procuring the actual painting for Shahbandar…
With the help of beautiful rodeo queen PJ Puznowski (Cameron Diaz), the pair hatch a scheme to fool Shahbandar into believing that Harry’s expert forgery is the real deal and pocketing a hefty sum in the process.
But with the con proving harder to pull off than he had first intended, Harry finds himself in increasingly awkward and hilarious situations in order to keep Shahbandar’s suspicions at bay and see the job through to the end.
