More from Deadline

The film watches as Bob (Marsh) loses his fiancée Terri (Negar) to the wealthy Kazeem (Peters), hiring the Wing Man, Turk (Williams), to help him get her back. Subsequently, though, the Wing Man faces off against his arch enemy — the other Wing Man, Eddie (Kennedy) — who has other plans for Bob. Through car races and bar hopping, this quest for love teaches Bob that true love is found right in front of him. Always there is his faithful assistant, Holly (Wallace), and his buddy Skip (Flashner).

Pic was produced by Justin Levine at Stardust Pictures Studios. Exec producers are David Lipper and Robert A. Daly Jr.

A beloved Canadian actor and comedian who has over 40 years of stage experience under his belt, Williams is best known on the acting front for turns in films like Employee of the Month, Freddy Got Fingered, The Whole Nine Yards, Superstar, Half Baked, Wag the Dog and Dumb and Dumber. His first feature was Fudgy Wudgy Fudge Face, a fantasy comedy released in 2009.
