After meeting Alice Steele at a park, Jack Arquette is convinced he has met his future bride. However, she is not the kind of girl he always pictured himself settling down with. Jack is a hyper weirdo who has ninteen female cousins and aspires to wake up with a cat hair allergy so his live-in roommate and longtime best friend, Kerry Little, will be forced to get rid of her pesky felines. Alice is a sweet but far from peppered girl with infallible self-defense moves up her sleeves. Jack's showy moves have a tendency to unnerve her. But Jack is optimistic things will turn out splendidly. After all, opposites attract every day. And Alice is a keeper.
