"What Do I Do Now?" tells the story of a series of misunderstandings when a soon-to-be masseuse accidently kills one of her clients, who says to be a rich Arab businessman. What she doesn't know is that he really is just a part of an evil plan to get rid of evidence in a murder case and his partners are already on their way.
I suppose the movie was designed to be one of those films where the different levels of knowledge of the different characters lead to a humorous outcome. In reality, unfortunately most of the gags are rather mediocre running gags, spiced with some rather simple humor like pimples etc. It is entertaining enough to prevent the audience from getting bored but it really isn't much more and surely not a role model for comedy.
All in all there are some things in this movie to work with and I guess the plot could make for a good film but then the humor has to become a bit more subtile and you shouldn't go after the easy laughs.
