Peter La Fleur (Vince Vaughn) is an underachiever who owns a run-down gym which has a clientele to be ashamed of. It comes as no surprise when White Goodman (Ben Stiller) decides to take over the place and he sends in attorney Kate Veach (Christine Taylor) to finalise the deal. Unfortunately for White, Peter's charms win Kate over and she helps him try to beat the odds and save 'Average Joes'.
