Ben & Jamie are best friends. Like, besttttttt friends. They’ve been besties since 8th grade. Palmer is their third-best friend. Jamie has a boyfriend—also named Jamie. Claire is Ben’s girlfriend.
Both Jamie and Ben went off to college together, leaving their significant others behind in long-distance relationships. Ben’s girlfriend is still in high school—but don’t worry, she just had to repeat 1st grade. She’s... a lot.
Jamie is annoyed that her roommate really wants to be friends, but she reluctantly agrees to go to a party—and Ben tags along. Let’s just say... the party does not go well. They start to wonder if their long-distance relationships are ruining their lives. They mutually decide it’s time to break up with their significant others—on Wednesday, when they get home for Thanksgiving.
After an exam, they go to leave—but Ben’s car is missing. Turns out, Ben’s boyfriend took it to Colorado. So, they hop on a bus instead. The plan gets pushed back a bit, but it’s going to be fine.
“Unwritten” plays, and that’s the rest of the day.
They rope Palmer into helping. He brings the boyfriend and girlfriend over to his house, but gives them alcohol, and they sneak out drunk because they’re hungry. Palmer goes after them and ends up running into Coach Reese—the head football coach. When Reese asks what's going on, Palmer explains... and lets slip that tonight’s get-together was supposed to be a sort of coming out party.
To Palmer’s shock, Reese reveals that he’s also gay—and has chosen to live in small-town Ohio. Reese takes him to a bowling alley to meet his boyfriend and the queer bowling league.
Meanwhile, Jamie and Ben are stuck trying to find their missing boyfriend and girlfriend. They try sneaking into a bar where they think they might be—but that fails, and leads to an argument. Hurtful things are said, especially when Claire finds out that Ben is going to Copenhagen next semester.
Eventually, they learn their partners are at a house party. They head there, find them, and attempt to break up—but it doesn’t go smoothly. The fact that they're both breaking up at the exact same time makes Ben’s girlfriend suspicious. She tells them they should just get together already.
So Ben and Jamie have the talk: should they? They end up sharing a kiss—one that could be described as “big ones.” It's interrupted by the arrival of the fire department.
Finally—it’s Thanksgiving. Ben is watching When Harry Met Sally and realizes he has to talk to Jamie. He needs to get something off his chest: he doesn’t have romantic feelings for her, and the kiss didn’t do it for him.
Jamie is relieved—she felt the exact same way.
Ben heads to Europe. Six months later, he returns a day early to surprise Jamie—so they can dance together in a totally normal way... that two people who are just friends do.
