Tropes for film:
- The Cameo: Martin Short appears as Neil Sussman, Chapman's agent.
- Eddie Albert, Richard Belzer, John Cleese, Stephen Collins, Fran Drescher, June Lockhart, Roddy McDowall, and Elliott Gould all make appearances.
- A Lady on Each Arm: Nick, feeling low, imagines himself in a 1940s-esque picture, sitting in a bar lamenting how he used to come in here with "a broad on each arm and a bankroll that could choke a hippo," but now he can't even get the bartender to give him one more drink.
- Mr. Imagination: Nick Chapman frequently imagines scenes from his life playing out the way they would in a movie. Understandable, as he did just graduate from film school.
- Tagline: "Film school prepared Nick for everything... everything but Hollywood".
