Emily and Ben fall in love, but Emily has no idea about the other six people–including blind telemarketer Ezra (Woody Harrelson), abused mother Connie (Elpidia Carrillo), and Ben's own brother (Michael Ealy) to whom he donates his kidney–who are on Ben's list of those he wants to help.

With their high-school graduation just two weeks away, good friends Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) are looking forward to attending Jules' (Emma Stone) party. In fact, Seth and Evan have taken on the job of supplying the booze for the big event. So, with nerdy friend Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)– who has managed to get his hands on a fake Hawaiian drivers' license–in tow, the trio goes shopping. They send Fogell into the store, and, wouldn't you know it, the liquor store is robbed while he is inside. Fogell is knocked unconscious, and Seth and Evan ditch him. Now, Fogell ends up in the custody of two inept police officers Slater (Bill Hader) and Michaels (Seth Rogen) and spends the night cruising. Meanwhile, Seth and Evan head off with a total stranger, Francis (Joe Lo Truglio), who tells them he will help them get the party's liquor. And the adventures continue.
