马特·富兰克林(托弗·戈瑞斯 Topher Grace 饰)刚刚从麻省理工学院毕业,然而他却似乎并不想遵从父愿进入金融界,而是选择了在一家音像店里打工,同时思索着自己究竟想要做什么。直到一天,马特高中时代暗恋的女生拖丽(泰莉莎·帕尔墨 Teresa Palmer 饰)偶然走进他的音像店,并邀请他参加一个劳动节聚会,聚会恰巧是由马特的妹妹温迪(安娜·法瑞丝 Anna Faris 饰)和她男友举办的。聚会上,马特发现原来温迪并非那么喜欢男友,昔日朋友也都各自面临人生的危机。这些怀揣烦恼的少年们不约而同地决意在今夜抛开顾虑放肆欢愉,然而今夜之后,几个年轻人的命运竟也开始交缠在一起……It's the late 1980s, when Wall Street is riding high, and it seems as if the entire country is cashing in on the bumper profits. Disgusted with the materialism that surrounds him, Matt Franklin, a brilliant young MIT graduate, has walked out on his well-paid position at a local lab and taken a low-level job as a video clerk, much to his father Bill's consternation. And the crises keep piling up in Matt's life. His best buddy Barry has just gotten fired from his job, his brainy sister Wendy is getting hitched to her vapid boyfriend Kyle, and the gorgeous Tori Frederking, long-time object of Matt's unattainable adoration, is suddenly back in the picture. Now, on one wild, woolly and irresponsible evening, everything is coming to a head, with explosive results.
