The movie is a visualization of the popular song.
Paul Matthews (Tate Donovan) is not that popular with the ladies. He mostly concentrated on his work with primates. One day, on a whim, he is encouraged to seek a gypsy who can tell his fortune. In the process, she spots his deficiency and prescribes love potion number eight (only in diluted form). Upon taking the potion, he becomes popular with the opposite s-e-x and aggravates the same s-e-x.
Naturally, this discovery is too important to keep to himself; so, he recruits a colleague, Diane Farrow (Sandra Bullock). After some monkeying around, they get down to scientific work. He investigates the girl's dorm. She investigates with the Prince of England, Prince Geoffrey (Dylan Baker).
Soon, they discover their true love, but as with real life, it gets complicated. Eventually, this called for love potion number 9.
