Successful playwright Nicky Rogan (Michael Keaton) is not having a good day: his wife, Lillian (Catherine O'Hara), is considering divorce; his aging father (Tom Aldredge) is in poor health; and Nicky is convinced that his autobiographical play, scheduled to open on Broadway that evening, is going to be panned by drama critic Steven Schwimmer (Robert Downey Jr.). But, even more important is the fact that his beloved Boston Red Sox are playing the Mets in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series and, despite Nicky's doubts, just might win their first World Series. After getting involved in a series of traffic jams and conversations with foreign cabbies, Nicky misses the opening of his play and sits in a bar watching his baseball team on TV and fearing the worst in all of his worlds.

Tris (Alexis Dziena) has broken up with bass player Nick (Michael Cera), and he has been sending her CDs to lure her back. Nora (Kat Dennings) has been finding the CDs in Tris' trash and has fallen in love with Nick's music. Now, Nora and her friend Caroline (Ari Graynor) are sitting in the bar where Nick's band is playing. Nick and Nora meet, and when Tris notices the attraction they have to each other, she reenters the picture and tries to lure Nick back. Meanwhile, Caroline gets drunk and goes off with Nick's band members (Aaron Yoo and Rafi Gavron), but they lose her. This leads to Nick and Nora forming a bond as they spend the night in Nick's battered yellow Yugo searching for Caroline. The great soundtrack is a highlight of this film.
