At first the film is difficult...stick with it.

Ray Walker stars as Jimmy, a ne'er-do-well who has a bad temper and a lousy work ethic. After losing yet another job, his girlfriend is getting sick and tired of his antics and tells him so. Ultimately, Jimmy does eventually find a job he likes AND is good at doing....being a process server. But after he serves a hoofer (who is NOT a very good dancer) and there's a minor riot, she blames him...though he was just doing his job. Now things are really bad between him and the lady. What will happen next...after Jimmy learns that her wonderful boss is actually a crook...and Jimmy intends to serve him as well?!

This film is tough to enjoy at first because Jimmy is a jerk in many ways....he not only can't hold a job but has a very inflated ego to boot. But my advice is keep watching--this B movie actually does get better.
