[edit] Plot

The film's protagonist, Ryan (Ryan Dunn) is devastated and depressed after his girlfriend Glauren (Jenn Rivell) breaks up with him. Ryan is convinced that she's sleeping with someone else, but can not prove it. After attempting to call Glauren several times, she finally returns his calls to reveal this she is in fact seeing someone named Hellboy, but denies sleeping with him; however Ryan does not believe her. He angrily runs to the local coffee house where he finds his friend, Valo (Bam Margera). Valo tells Ryan he is acting like an idiot and that he needs to control himself, and that he should try and talk to some other girls. He tries his luck with a girl in the coffee house, but after he insults her, she stabs him in the eye with a fork; Ryan screams with pain before passing out.

Once home, Ryan, now wearing an eyepatch, asks Valo to vandalise Glauren's house for $100 to get revenge - he believes it will help him get over her. Ryan says he will also pay Falcone (Brandon DiCamillo) to do it aswell. Valo agrees and goes to seek out Falcone. He finds Falcone in his house building a 'Reverse Microwave' for a local Future Inventions competition. Valo tells him about Ryan's proposition and Falcone reluctantly agrees but only because he needs money for Microwave parts.

When they arrive at Glauren's house, Falcone and Valo smear poop over her garage doors. Falcone climbs up to the roof just as Glauren and Hellboy (Rake Yohn) arrive. Valo hides in the bushes but Hellboy unknowingly urinates on his head. When they return to Ryan's, they find that the vandalism hasn't helped him at all, and that Ryan is still depressed. The following day, Ryan visits Glauren at the the hairdressers where she works in the hope of patching things up, however he's leaves disgusted by her new rock n' roll lifestyle; darkening his mood even further. Meanwhile, Valo gets a visit from a local stoner named Dooli (Brandon Novak) who tells him to go and see a guy named Naked Dave (David DeCurtis) who may be able to advise him on Ryan's situation, he takes Dooli's advise and visits Naked Dave who suggests that Ryan should do something destructive like break some bottles to let out his aggression. Ryan agrees to break some bottles around the back of a store, and begins to violently throw the bottles to hopefully cure his pain. However, a police officer (Tony Hawk) arrives and arrests Ryan for vandalism, much to Valo's protests.

Free from Jail, Ryan pays Valo and Falcone to break into Hellboy's house with a video camera, in order to find evidence that he and Glauren had sex. Valo reluctantly agrees, even though he is still bitter about the events of the vandalism effort at Glauren's house. Valo, Falcone and Raab (Chris Raab), Falcone's annoying cousin, set out to locate Hellboy's house. Meanwhile, Ryan successfully asks Glauren out on a dinner date. While in the restaurant, he and Glauren patch things up and agree to start over; Ryan desperately tries to call Valo to cancel the planned break in at Hellboy's. However, it is too late; Valo and Falcone find Hellboy's house and climb in through the upstair's window, while Raab waits outside as the getaway driver. They discover Glauren's dildo, as well as her diary - which details a sexual experience with Hellboy, proving Ryan's suspicions. Valo and Falcone are suddenly disturbed, and they hide in the closet. Glauren and Hellboy enter the room and begin to have sex, even though she's just got back together with Ryan, with the video camera left turned on, filming the whole scene. Hellboy notices the camera, and Valo runs out of the closet, grabs the camera and he and Falcone make a break for it. While Valo manages to escape to the getaway car, Falcone is tackled to the ground. He luckily escapes and jumps into the car just as Raab drives away. The three of them return to Ryan's, who is in an extremely happy mood after getting back together with Glauren. They show him the video recording, which shows Falcone reading the sexual extract from Glauren's diary and the Hellboy sex scene. Ryan grows extremely angry that Glauren betrayed him.

Falcone wins the Future Invention competition with his Reverse Microwave, and he, Valo and Ryan are invited to the after party; where, Valo hooks up with a girl as well as Ryan getting a new girlfriend named Beth (Missy Margera). Glauren arrives and tries to seduce him, but he denies her - she storms off angrily, while Ryan remains happily with his new lover. Valo's girlfriend invites him back to her house, where they begin to make-out. Unfortunately for him, Hellboy arrives - revealing himself to be the girl's brother, and Valo hastily escapes. The next day, Valo and Falcone are seen in the park, where they laugh about Valo's experience with Hellboy. They then walk away, happy that everything is as it should be.
