Plot [link]
A man (Steve Coogan) who runs an alibi agency, a service for adulterous husbands and wives that provides airtight alibis, runs into trouble with his latest client. In order to remedy the problem, he has to rely on a very enticing woman (Rebecca Romijn), his assistant/partner. The plot thickens when he switches identities with one of his clients (James Marsden) for a weekend, and the client's girlfriend dies in an accident. With the police, an assassin, and a jealous ex-boyfriend to run from, he discovers that he will need all the ingenuity he can muster to survive.

THE ALIBI
by: Steve HarleyFlicking through her horoscope
She's entranced by the message
Moved like an innocent child
She's not content to sell her dream
In a picture-frame of dispair
Looking for an alibi
She can depend on the rebel
To rise from the ashes and fly
Sensing that there's something wrong
She's in tune with the song of adventure
Rebel gives the alibi to a lonely girl
From high society
Victim of a color-packed magazine
Ringing out the chimes of dawn
Sensing that there's something wrong
So she's gonna fly, scheming for an alibi
Ringing out the chimes of dawn
Sensing that the chance has gone
So she's gonna fly, gotta run and hide
Gotta camouflage the story of the alibi
Tapping into real affection
Is hard for the lady
Lost on the innocent child
Looking for an alibi
She's immune to the moral conventions
Rebel gives the alibi to a lonely girl
From high society
Victim of a color-packed magazine
Ringing out the chimes of dawn
Sensing that there's something wrong
So she's gonna fly, scheming for an alibi
Ringing out the chimes of dawn
Sensing that the chance has gone
So she's gonna fly, gotta run and hide
Gotta camouflage the story of the alibi
