The story revolves around Bill (
Aaron Eckhart), an overweight, middle-aged man dissatisfied with himself and his life. He works at his father-in-law, Mr. Jacoby's (
Holmes Osborne) bank. But his job is meaningless with a made up title, and his in-laws don't take him seriously, especially his brother-in-law. Jacoby is a pillar in the community and is considering a mayoral run. Bill and Jess, his wife (
Elizabeth Banks) live in a house provided by her father and lead a comfortable lifestyle provided by him. Bill is trying to purchase a doughnut franchise with the Whitmans (
Jason Sudeikis &
Kristin Wiig), a friendly married couple who own the franchise business. Bill's interest in purchasing a franchise is an attempt to wean himself and his wife off Jacoby's finances. At a public donation sponsored by his in-laws, Bill first meets "the Kid" (
Logan Lerman), a spunky and easygoing teenager, who is running from the school principal. In the hallway, after the principal suggests a school mentoring program, he sees his wife talking with Chip Johnson (
Timothy Olyphant), the local, pompous newscaster. Bill begins to get mildly suspicious, and meanwhile begins to "mentor" the Kid. Before a hunting trip with his in-laws and their pupils, he places a hidden camera in his and his wife's bedroom, and upon arrival discovers that his wife is having an affair with Chip. In a rage, he shows her the camera, and the two have an argument, bringing Jess to go to Chip and tell him about the tape, and Bill ends up beating him up. An online video later circulates of the tape and is passed around the staff at the bank, furthering Bill and Jess' embarrassment, particularly when Jess makes some offensive comments to Chip about Bill, their sex life and his penis size. Jess fears the video could ruin her father's chances for mayor and tries to conceal the news of her affair and the video from him.
