Sandy Wexler

SANDY WEXLER (Adam Sandler) is the consummate manager for "talent" who need a career boost, or even just a career. With his stable of oddball folk with limited abilities -- a daredevil jumper who never completes a jump, a comedian who isn't funny (Colin Quinn), a ventriloquist (Kevin James) with an ethnically mixed-troop of insult dummies, a struggling actress, a contortionist -- Wexler likens his clients to family, and works hard on their behalf. The problem is, he's delusional, inept, dishonest, socially awkward, has a grating voice, and terrible table manners. When he discovers Courtney Clarke (Jennifer Hudson) singing in a children's play at a theme park, he's smitten. Not only does she have a remarkable voice, but she's beautiful, gracious, and warmhearted. He falls hopelessly in love. Always the professional, Sandy doesn't let her know how he feels, and somehow manages to jumpstart what will for her be instant stardom. As Courtney rises, however, Sandy has to acknowledge that perhaps his less-than-stellar management skills are weighing her down. Sacrificing his feelings and the stature he's experienced at her side, Sandy steps away. The heartbroken man once again turns his attention to the bleak troop of performers, to whom he is dedicated. As time passes, despite a series of high-powered romances, popularity, and life in the fast lane, Courtney can't help but miss the sad-sack loser who gave his all for her. It's a classic story -- manager meets star; manager loses star; but will he get her back?
