A Life Less Ordinary

O'Reilly and Jackson (Hunter and Lindo) are two angels whose jobs are to unite man and woman in eternal bliss. After a bad run that included several divorces and irreconcilable sexual disharmony, the two are in danger of being banished to Earth. Their latest job, however, can save them. Their mission: bring together Robert Lewis (McGregor) and Celine Naville (Diaz). Robert is a dreaming, but hapless janitor, working for rich, spoiled, crazy Celine's father, Naville (Ian Holm). Robert finally snaps when he's fired, replaced by a robot, dumped by his girlfriend and sent an eviction notice (from the Firm But Fair Eviction & Collection Agency, O'Reilly and Jackson's front). While demanding his job back from Naville, Robert shoots Naville in the leg (Celine distracted him) and takes Celine hostage. Robert, however, is an inept kidnapper. While making his ransom demand, he keeps making mistakes, like getting interrupted, dialing the wrong number and switching the main words ("Right, daughter. I've got your asshole here."). O'Reilly and Jackson, meanwhile, disguise as bounty hunters and visit Naville. O'Reilly manages to sweet-talk herself and Jackson into the job of getting Robert and Celine back. The rest of the film features Robert and Celine falling in love, while fleeing O'Reilly and Jackson. O'Reilly's brilliant plan is putting the two in jeopardy to keep them together, meaning lots of injuries for herself and Jackson.
