Plot: In the town of Butterface Fields, population 3,149, Andy Sargentee's wide group of close friends are worried about what looks to be his impending nervous breakdown in his midlife crisis. In his extreme actions, he has already lost his job - quit or fired is arguable - and with it his ability to live. While loving who he was but not being able to live with the man he has become, Thelma, his wife, divorces him, and eventually remarries extremely successful and wealthy Howard, which only exacerbates Andy's feelings of emasculation in comparison to Howard as both husband and father to his and Thelma's only offspring, teenage Billy. In a moment of inspiration, Andy believes he has the thing to get him out of his funk while getting himself financially back on his feet: he and his friends, which is comprised of the community at large, will band together to form the first community production company to film a feature length amateur porn movie. Andy's rough outline for the film is to include every cliché that he is aware of associated with porn from the plethora of movies he's watched. This plan will require buy-in from his friends, and from each a $2,000 investment for solely a percentage of the profits, that investment which may be difficult for many to raise. The question becomes whether Andy and his friends can pull off this project, a monumental task considering that most of them individually, like Andy, lead a dead end and unremarkable life.
Alternative Plot: A dubious flash of inspiration convinces a ne'er-do-well (Jeff Bridges) that the way to fame and fortune is to break into the multi billion-dollar porn industry. He assembles his fellow townies (Ted Danson, William Fichtner, Patrick Fugit, Tim Blake Nelson) to help him write, produce and shoot an adult film.
