After discovering his girlfriend in bed with another man, Larry Hubbard is downgraded to lonely guy.

The initial premise of this film is ingenious, and it's worth it for all the setups that feel all-too-familiar. After that, it settles into a bit of a conventional plot which drags the rest of the movie down, but it's full of so many moments of sheer brilliance and depressing truths, I can't award it anything less than:
3½ cries in the night out of 5
