After finishing his studies at Yale, John travels to Hollywood with dreams of finding success as an author. However, things don't quite work out. Along with his buddies from college, John spends much of his time goofing around. With his writing going nowhere, he takes a temporary job working for a credit card company, and then for a slum lord. Into John's life steps Andrew, a nerd who becomes his new roommate. Friendly to an extreme, Andrew quickly is made the target of abuse by John and his friends, who can't bear the newcomer's niceness. Meanwhile, John also repulses the advances of a pretty Southern floozy who keeps coming on to him. Will John and his slacker buddies manage to find a direction for their aimless lives? [More]
