Rob Reiner directs Luke Wilson and Kate Hudson in Alex & Emma, a romantic comedy about an author and his secretary. Gangsters will kill Alex (Wilson) in 30 days if he doesn't pay back his gambling debts. The only way he can do that is to finish his new novel. He hires sassy court stenographer Emma (Hudson) to transcribe his dictation. The film intercuts between the two of them writing the story, and the story within the story. Hudson plays three roles in the film, and Wilson plays two. Sophie Marceau and David Paymer round out the cast. The premise is (very) loosely based on a series of events that befell Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoyevsky. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

Wesley (Alexis Denisof) pretends to be Angel (David Boreanaz) while Angel consults with a shaman who turns out to be an impostor in this tale of mistaken identities. Despondent over the return of Darla (see "Dear Boy"), Angel heads to the demon karaoke bar Caritas for advice from the Host (Andy Hallett), who sends him on a weekend retreat with no-nonsense guru T'ish Magev (Art LeFleur). Meanwhile, back at headquarters, Cordelia (Charisma Carpenter) and Wesley are hassled by the henchmen of Magnus Bryce (Todd Susman), a businessman who made his fortune selling spells to the rich and famous. Bryce wants protection for his comely daughter, Virginia (Brigid Brannagh), whom he claims is in danger of being assassinated by his business rivals. Bryce wants Angel and only Angel to take the job, so Wes poses as his employer (even drinking a vial of blood) and begins faking his way through bodyguard duty. Along the way, he and Virginia have a tumble in the hay. Meanwhile, Angel learns that the T'ish Magev, despite having given him some real insights into his own character, is actually an impostor in the employ of one of Bryce's rivals. It turns out that, far from desiring to protect his daughter, Bryce wants to sacrifice Virginia to the demon goddess Yeska in exchange for greater power; the fake T'ish's job was to keep Angel from protecting the young woman. Eventually, Wes, Angel, and the crew save Virginia from her father. The young heiress begins a romance the man she now realizes is not Angel but Wesley, and Wes ends up in the society pages. Originally broadcast November 7, 2000, on the WB network, "Guise Will Be Guise" marked season two, episode six of the supernatural comedy drama. Guest star Todd Susman previously played the obnoxious PA voice on the long-running television comedy M*A*S*H. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

The girl next door learns to love the girl next door in this broadly satiric musical comedy. April Pfferpot (Kirsten Holly Smith) is a young woman from a small town in Arkansas who begins having second toughts on the day of her wedding to insufferable jock Dick Dickson (Michael Dotson). April's second thoughts are extreme enough that she opts to put a bullet through her skull rather than walk down the aisle, but afterward, she awakens to discover that she's not actually dead -- she has instead been magically transported to the (almost) all-female Isle of Lesbos, where she shows up just in time to witness a pagan same-sex marriage and earn the immediate interest of rough-hewn Blatz Balinski (Danica Sheridan). Dick, not the sort of man to take being stood up lightly, tracks April down to Lesbos, where he soon makes the acquaintance of the only man on the island, Lance The Nance, The Fruitball Slave (Alex Boling), whose job is to keep the island tidy. Lance is being held on the island against his will, and he will be released only if a straight male will succumb to his seductive powers, which makes him all the more interested in Dick. Meanwhile, back in Arkansas, a sudden rash of sexual deformities has swept the village, and Dr. Sigmoid Colon (Jeff B. Harmon) is brought in to help. Along the way, the cast treats us to 15 songs, including "Same Sex Love", "Lesbian Rock", and "Mojo Man". ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Having made plans to spend his birthday ogling the nude dancers at "The Jiggle Room", Al (Ed O'Neill) is instead hauled into court by an overweight female customer whom he has repeatedly insulted in the past.

Elsewhere, the Bundy kids plan to surprise Al by tinting the windows of the Dodge, but the project get a bit out of hand. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Al (Ed O'Neill) has come up with the perfect Christmas present for his co-worker Griff (Harold Sylvester): twenty free minutes on the phone-sex line 1-900-YUMMY. Before long, Griff is not only "hooked" on the service, but he has fallen in love with the velvet-voiced operator "Butter." Little does Griff realize that the unseen Butter is actually Al's behemoth mother-in-law (Kathleen Freeman)--but Al knows this fact only too well! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Anticipating a cornucopia of sexy "eye candy", Al (Ed O'Neill) persuades his boss Gary (Janet Carroll) to open up an aerobics studio next door to the shoe store. Unfortunately, the studio's clientele is comprised entirely of women who are "metabolically challenged"--a new P.C. term for "fat as pigs." In hopes of attracting a more curvaceous flock of females, Al prevails upon Kelly (Christina Applegate) to talk her handsome boyfriend Ramon (Marco Sanchez) into getting a job as an aerobics instructor. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
