The movie follows the story of Ray Wentworth (Bob Odenkirk), a struggling greeting card writer who has not been able to find success after his divorce. He lives alone in a small apartment and spends most of his time drinking and trying to come up with new ideas for cards. His life takes an unexpected turn when he gets caught up in a complex conspiracy involving a contest to write the perfect Girlfriend's Day card.

The movie is set in a world where greeting cards are a significant part of the culture, and people look forward to celebrating occasions like Valentine's Day and Girlfriend's Day. Ray is a former champion at writing cards for various occasions but has been struggling to keep up with the changing market. His life seems to be going nowhere until his friend, and fellow card writer Sonny ( played by Stacy Keach) tells him about the Girlfriend's Day contest.

Ray sees this as an opportunity to turn his life around and get back into the game. The contest invites greeting card writers from all over the country to come up with a new card that captures the essence of Girlfriend's Day. The winner of the contest will receive $10,000 and the honor of having their card be the official Girlfriend's Day card for the entire country.

As Ray begins to work on his card, he realizes that he is not the only one interested in winning the contest. His competitor Josh (played by Andy Richter) is a new writer on the scene and has some fantastic ideas. Ray's life gets more complicated as he gets caught up in a conspiracy involving the top card companies in the country. It's not just about writing the best card anymore.

Amber Tamblyn plays Jill, the woman who becomes Ray's love interest. She works at the card company and is an important player in the conspiracy. Ray finds himself drawn to her but doesn't know if he can trust her. Together, they try to unravel the mystery and find out who is behind the conspiracy.

Throughout the movie, we see Ray struggle with his personal demons. He is trying to come to terms with his divorce and trying to find a way to move on with his life.
