Repossessing a vintage Camaro from a martial arts master simply named â??The Monkâ? is a tough way to begin a workday. And it just keeps getting worse from there for repo men Rick and The Colonel, when they have a run in with mobsters and repossess a car with a major league pitcher, Jim, bound and gagged in the trunk. And the World Series begins in just three days.

Now, on the run from the mobsters/kidnappersâ??with pitcher in towâ??The Colonel and Rick continue to create a mess of things when Rickâ??s son ends up on the road with the â??fugitivesâ?, and mom is none-to-happy about it. Of course, nothing is ever as it seems, and motives and secrets are soon revealed when it turns out that there is much more to Jimâ??s abduction and his would-be kidnappers. Some days it pays not to wake up.

With pitch perfect comedic timing from Eric Fleming and Robert Culp (I Spy, Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice) as Rick and The Colonel, respectively, The Almost Guys is a thrill-ride of a comedy that never stops.
