The concept of the film is that the protagonist is aware his life is a movie. He meets many people throughout his "storyline" including his audience, whom he talks to frequently, his sidekick, a woman he immediately calls his Love Interest, and a shady character known only as Suspicious Character whom he suspects to be villainous. A memorable scene is the protagonist's paraphrase of The Lord's Prayer: "Thou movie, which art on screen, hallowed be they name. The time has come. Thou will be shown in theaters as well as home. Give us this day our daily film and forgive our bad choices, as we forgive those whose movies were so bad to choose. And lead us not into television, but deliver us from that evil, for movies are the picture and the sound, and the greatest thing in the whole wide world, forever and ever." ~ Wikipedia It particularly spoke to me as an artist, and I liked how, in a fun way, the film challenges the audience to be more than just an audience and to instead imagine that they themselves are the "hero" with their own stories worth telling and worth investment. - Book Happy

Short stories about people whose lives just didn't go quite right, like the guy who had to drive his ex-wife's new husband home after an accident at a yoga retreat and the man whose marriage fell apart after his wife noticed another woman's sock print on the windshield. The plots all seem vaguely unlikely, but the characters are just believable enough that you can relate to them.
