The Alibi is a 2006 film directed by Matt Checkowski and Kurt Mattila. The film was released to DVD on December 5, 2006 under the title Lies and Alibis.
A man (Steve Coogan) who runs 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'll need all the ingenuity he can muster to survive.
Note: The plot revolves a lot around the scamming of a sultan of Qatar out of 15 million (hence the assassin); however the Qatari head of state is an Emir, while other male dignitaries are Shiekhs, rather than sultans.

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) personality Paul Heyman stars as an announcer and Shane McMahon, son of WWE owner Vince McMahon, can be seen in one scene.There is a concert scene in which the Nu Metal band Slipknot plays the song "I Am Hated" from their album Iowa.
