Added DiffLines:

** If Steve/Amanda was not fully consenting when they had sex during the blackout drunk episode, then Walter counts as well.

Steve Brooks (Creator/PerryKing), a promiscuous and sexist man, is murdered by his ex-lovers. He is offered acceptance into {{Heaven}} only if he finds a woman who truly likes him and is sent back among the living in order to accomplish this. However, the Devil (Creator/BrucePayne) suggests a complication to [[AnAesop teach Steve a lesson]] and prevent him from easily seducing a woman, and turns him into a beautiful blonde woman (Creator/EllenBarkin).

[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlfzFIkyPE4 The film's trailer]] is infamous for the bit where the film's title is said, followed by a different voice quickly adding "Creator/JimmySmits" without even a "starring" or "featuring" beforehand.

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Steve's three exes, Liz, Felicia and Margo, fit that hair color pattern.

* LoopholeAbuse: For once, it's the Devil pointing out a flaw in a plan by Heaven. As he relates, the deal would be for Steve to "find a woman who loves him," but nothing about whether Steve would love the woman back. Thus, the Devil argues, it'll be all too easy for Steve to seduce some poor lady into truly and honestly falling for him when he feels nothing for her and still come out on top on the deal. But if there was a challenge like, say, Steve being a woman instead, then Heaven will know the bond is for real. This then leads to another loophole in the very end as both the Devil and Amanda made the mistake of thinking the "love of a soulmate" had to be a romantic one, not the love a newborn child and mother would share, thus earning Amanda a place in Heaven.
* ManIFeelLikeAWoman: One of the first things Steve does upon becoming Amanda is feeling up his breasts.
