After being fired from his unfulfilling office job, Steven finds himself at the desk of unemployment counselor Lorena (Farmiga). Choosing to pursue his dream of being a professional ventriloquist, Steven hones his skills and tries to work up the nerve to ask out Lorena with the help of his best friend and fellow misfit, Fangora (Jovovich).

Demonic Dummy: Averted. The dummy, though a bit creepy at times, never acts of its own accord or shows any hostility (that Steven doesn't project onto it). Played with in one shot near the end, but the dummy was simply being operated by an off-screen character.

Cloud Cuckoolander: With the exception of his sister Heidi, Steven's entire family. Fannie can be like this sometimes, too.

Beware the Nice Ones: Steven's a nice guy but after disarming Michael, he flat-out sucker-punches him in the face.

Brick Joke: Steven puts on a CD of John Philip Sousa ("the guy that does all the marches") when alone at home with Lorena. After dropping her off and being told by Lorena that she's not ready for a relationship, he comes home with the CD still playing.
