Meet Bill

Bill (Aaron Eckhart) is an overweight, middle-aged man who dissatisfies himself and works at his father-in-law, Mr. Jacoby's (Holmes Osborne) bank, where he has a meaningless, made-up job, and his in-laws don't take him seriously, especially his brother-in-law (Todd Louiso). He also struggles with his weight and has body image issues, which he makes worse by keeping candy around his home and office. Jacoby is a pillar in the community and is considering a mayoral run. Bill and his wife Jess (Elizabeth Banks) live in a house provided by her father and lead a comfortable lifestyle. Bill tries to purchase a doughnut franchise with the Whitmans (Jason Sudeikis and Kristen Wiig), a friendly married couple who own the franchise business. Bill's interest in purchasing a franchise is an attempt to wean himself and his wife off Jacoby's finances. At a public donation ceremony sponsored by his in-laws, Bill first meets "the Kid" (Logan Lerman), a spunky and easygoing teenager, who is running from the school principal for possession of marijuana. Bill protects the Kid by pretending he did not see anyone and there is no one hiding in the bathroom. In the hallway, after the principal suggests a school mentoring program, he sees his wife talking with Chip Johnson (Timothy Olyphant), the local, pompous newscaster. Bill begins to get mildly suspicious, and also begins to "mentor" the Kid. Before a hunting trip with his in-laws and the students they are all mentoring, he places a hidden camera in his and Jess' bedroom, and learns that his wife is having an affair with Chip. In a rage, he shows her the camera, the two argue causing Jess to seek Chip and tell him about the tape, where Bill ends up beating him up on live TV and is arrested. After the sex tape has been taken in by the police and viewed, they later find that it circulates the bank and local community, furthering Bill and Jess' embarrassment, particularly concerning Jess' offensive comments to Chip about Bill, their sex
