Director: Doug Liman
Cast: Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn, Ron Livingston, Patrick Van Horn, Alex Désert, Deena Martin, Katherine Kendall, Heather Graham

A sympathetic drama comedy about five young struggling actors who live in Los Angeles. While the rest of the group are just happy to go out and get laid, Mike cannot get over his long-term ex-girlfriend. The film is never laugh-out-loud funny, but at least Vaughn's comedy schtick still seemed fresh at this point. Favreau wrote the script.
