Continuity mistake: When Jon Favreau talks on the phone for the first time, there is an answering machine next to it. Then when we see the phone system again the answering machine is gone. Then Jon walks into the next room and when he walks back the whole phone system is gone. (00:04:30)
Mikey (John Favreu) is a single comedian/actor trying to make it on the west coast. After a tough break up with his ex Lisa back east, Mikey is afraid to get back in the game. Along with help from his crazy friend Trent (Vince Vaughn) Mikey learns that there is more out there and life is too short for sulking. After some major female failures Mikey is on the verge of giving up, until his old friend Rob (Ron Livingston) gives him the kick in the butt that he needed to get back out there and make things happen.

Rob: Those guys are right. You're money.
Mike: Then why won't she call?
Rob: She won't call because you left. She's got her own life to deal with and that's in New York. She's a sweet girl and I love her to pieces, but fuck her, man. You got to get on with your life. You've got to let go of the past Mikey, and when you do, the future is beautiful.
Trivia: The girl on the answering machine who says "Did she call yet? I'm sure she...." is Heather Graham's voice (the girl Mike meets at the end of the film).
