Spoilers ahead
As the countdown approaches their 30th birthday, two jaded friends find themselves at a crossroads in life. Elliot, portrayed by Patton Oswalt, is a screenwriter passionate about storytelling, while his companion John, played by Paul Rudd, is an actor who once had a bright future but now feels despondent after being ousted from acting school. Their aspirations of stardom have long dissipated, replaced by a grim reality filled with consistent rejections that leave them feeling hopeless.
The tension peaks following John’s disastrous interview with celebrity Brett Anderson, brought to life by Reid Scott. This cringeworthy meeting leaves John deflated, prompting him and Elliot to forge a pact to achieve fame before the clock strikes midnight on their 30th birthday—a task they must accomplish within a mere 24 hours.
