Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2002 comedy-drama film written and directed by Dylan Kidd, starring Campbell Scott and Jesse Eisenberg.Roger Swanson (Scott) is a smooth-talking Madison Avenue copywriter, with an uncanny ability to cold-read people. When he isn't applying his skill by reminding consumers that "they're missing something from their lives" and that his client's product is "the only thing that can fill the void", he will be applying it to women in bars. Despite his ability, Roger's cynicism and downright insulting characterizations of the women around him are a turn-off, such that he is Hoist by His Own Petard.Roger's nephew, Nick (Eisenberg), is visiting New York scouting universities and pays his uncle a visit. While out to lunch, Nick confesses that he doesn't have a girlfriend and finds it difficult to talk to girls. Within the family, Roger is known as a ladies' man, so Nick asks his uncle for help. Roger's offer ("So, you need help with the ladies, Nick?") becomes the premise of the film.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Beneath the Mask | |
| Roger Dodger / int_4fbc0887 | comment |
Beneath the Mask: Roger deliberately presents himself as a smart, cool, cynically detached Handsome Lech. As the film progresses, he's shown to be lonely, insecure and emotionally unfulfilled. His tactics with women range from mildly unpleasant to downright creepy. Even his romantic success is clearly exaggerated. | |

All Girls Want Bad Boys | |
| Roger Dodger / int_db2f3581 | comment |
All Girls Want Bad Boys: Discussed by the main characters, wherein Roger is able to extract a confession from Andrea that for her this principle is actually true. Subverted with Roger, however; while he's unquestionably an asshole, he fails to get anywhere with her. | |
