Dennis Nolan (Dash Mihok) and his best friend Phil Fazzulo (Peter Facinelli) have found themselves working in a local Long Island pizzeria after graduating college. A stream of familiar faces from their past reinforces their humiliation over the fact that their lives have remained virtually unchanged. It finally reaches its most embarrassing peak when Phil can no longer dodge Deb Friedman (Jennifer Love Hewitt), a cloyingly sweet ex-girlfriend, while Kristen Barrett (Gina Philips), the ex-girlfriend Dennis couldn't hang on to, walks back into his life. In a five day span Dennis finds himself pondering his life and why it seems to have taken a turn down a road he never expected.

Dash Mihok wurde als Sohn zweier Schauspieler geboren und wuchs in Greenwich Village auf. Sein eigentlicher Vorname Dashiell ist auf Dashiell Hammett zurückzuführen. Nach seinem Schulabschluss an der Bronx High School of Science und einem Studium des Tanzes schlug er den Weg zum Film ein und wirkte fortan in diversen Hollywoodfilmen mit, zumeist in Nebenrollen. Neben Leonardo DiCaprio agierte er 1996 in William Shakespeares Romeo + Julia; zu erwähnen sind auch Der Sturm (2000) mit Mark Wahlberg sowie The Day After Tomorrow (2004) als Freund von Dennis Quaid. Im Jahr 2006 erschien Mihoks erster Film, That Guy, bei dem er Regie führte und den er auch produzierte.

An actor with an undeniably friendly appeal, Dash Mihok was born in New York in 1974. Both of Mihok's parents were active in theater and the arts, and they encouraged their son to explore his creative side. He joined up with the program City Kids while in high school, a production involving Jim Henson puppets that performed all over the city, teaching children about character and self-esteem. Mihok's interest in performance only grew as he got older, and he began auditioning for professional roles after high school, scoring appearances on Law & Order and in the movie Sleepers. Then, still a virtual unknown, Mihok got a callback for a much more prominent role when he was cast as Benvolio, best friend of Leonardo DiCaprio's Romeo in Baz Luhrmann's hallucinatory, modern take on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The project gave Mihok an amazing chance to show his stuff; not only did he impress audiences by handling a serious, emotional acting role complete with difficult, antiquated language, but he ... walked around bare-chested in many scenes, wowing viewers with his muscular physique.

Mihok continued to pick and choose interesting projects, acting in everything from big-budget blockbusters like The Day After Tomorrow and The Perfect Storm to independent arthouse movies like Johnny Flynton and Mojave. Mihok was a particular delight to audiences in 2006's Hollywoodland and in 2007's family film Firehouse Dog, but that year, he decided to try something a little more unconventional, joining the cast of the show Cavemen, a dry satirical comedy about the group of cultured, well-educated Neanderthals from the popular line of Geico insurance ads. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
