Danny Maccabee

Dr. Daniel "Danny" Maccabee is the main protagonist. He is portrayed by Adam Sandler. He works as a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, and he constantly lies to women claiming he has a bad marriage, so he can gain their sympathy and sleep with them. However, this ends when he meets a woman he feels he can truly connect with, Palmer. Once she finds out that he has a wedding ring, she gets angry and thinks that he is married. Danny then requests for his assistant/friend, Katherine, to pretend to be his ex-wife so he can show Palmer he is not married and completely loyal to her. However, when they're all on a trip in Hawaii, Danny's thoughts and romances change.

History
Around 20 years ago, Danny is seen as a young Jewish man with a giant nose, who is studying to become a cardiologist. He overhears his fiancee saying rude things about him, and his sister on their wedding day, and he also hears her saying that she cheated on him. Later, he goes to a bar to drink away his sorrows. An attractive woman sits beside him, and he quickly makes up a lie that he and his wife have been married for 6 years, and that he's having a terrible marriage. After hearing his story, the woman then leaves the bar with him to advance further romantically. After that night's success, Danny continues to do this to other women, but not before he changes his career to a plastic surgeon and gets a nose job so he is much better looking and confident.

Veruca
Veruca is Danny's ex-fiancee. Veruca wasn't actually in love with Danny, she was just marrying him because he was going to be a doctor.
