| Synopsis: Lance Barton (Rock) is a
struggling comedian whose dream is to perform at New York City's
legendary Apollo Theater before it closes its doors forever. One
night, while riding his bike, Lance is hit by a truck- and before he
can come to terms with what has happened, he is strolling through
Heaven, talking to the smooth Mr. King (Palminteri) and the bumbling
Keyes (Levy), the angel who prematurely snatched Lance away from
Earth. Mr. King agrees to make up for this mistake by returning
Lance to New York, only Lance is now Mr. Wellington, a powerful
white businessman who just so happens to be the enemy of Sontee
(Regina King), the woman Barton is infatuated with. Wooing Sontee
with a new commitment to using Mr. Wellington's money
philanthropically, Lance is on a mission to perform at the Apollo,
even if he doesn’t seem to fit the mold. But just when everything
begins to fall into place, Mr. King returns to throw another glitch
into Lance's plans. |
