Inciting moment:

At the beginning of the movie, we see Dante, the main character, who is waken up by a phone call from his boss, who tells him to go to work that day, although its Dante’s free day. That is the presentation of Dante and how we are informed that he is a clerk, and the fact that he is not going to be happy about being forced to work for someone's else .

Exposition:

We see that Dante arrives to the store and makes an advertisement that the store is open with a bad mood, also we see in the conversations that he has with the costumers that he isn’t enjoying his work that day because he could be resting and getting ready for a hockey game. Randal, Dante’s best friend is working near the store at the video rental shop, but Randal hates to work there and to attend dumb costumers, but constantly is visiting Dante. Also we see Veronica, Dante’s actual girlfriend, who has a fight with Dante because she didn’t tell him how many times she had oral sex with other men (36 guys excluding Dante). And we see Jay and silence Bob, two guys that are marijuana dealers that are always at the outside of the store.

Rising action:

The story starts to speed up Dante finds that his ex-girlfriend is going to get married, so he gets depressed and he discuss with Randal about the return of the jedi and how unfair was the  ending of the people that was working at the dead star, because they died being innocent, so Dante feels identified with those characters.

Complication:

Dante starts to think about attending to his hockey game, so he closes momentarily the store and plays with his friends at the roof of the building, but an angry customer send to fly the ball that Dante was using to play, so that makes Dante to return to attend the store, but he finds that one of his ex-girlfriends died, so he decides to close the store again and go with Randal to the wake, but they escape from there because apparently Randal messed up the wake.


-Main point: We start to see that Dante`s wrong decitions just made his situattion to get worse.

Climax:

It starts when Caitlin arrives to the store (Dante’s ex-girlfriend that was going to get married), because she doesn’t want to get married, so that’s the point were Dante tries to convince her to start a new relation with her, forgetting that Veronica is her actual girlfriend, so Dante asks Caitlin to wait him at the store, but Caitlin goes to the bathroom.


-Main point: The fact that Caitlin appears, seems to be a perfect cliffhanger to see which woman is selected by Dante, although at this moment, he just don`t seem to remember Veronica.

Reversal:

Dante arrives at the store, but at that moment Caitlin tells him that he was really fast and that he arrived before her. Dante don’t understand that and they find that Caitlin accidentally had sex with another person, so Dante goes to the bathroom to check who was it, but he finds that the person was a customer that asked him some hours before to go to the bathroom and took some pornographic magazines so he couldn’t get bored, but the man had a heart attack and died with an erection, so Caitlin finished with a big trauma due to that mistake.


-Main point: everything appeared to be going well, but in this scene, all this stuff is just screwed up by a little mistake.

Falling action:

After Caitlin’s trauma, Jay and silent Bob speaks with Dante, and due to this, he finds that he is in love with veronica, but after that instant, veronica arrives and Dante is dumped by her, because she finds by Randal that he wanted to revive the relationship that he had with Caitlin.


-Main point: Dante discovers that he loves Veronica due to the way she expressed her feelings with just a single action(she gave him that day lassagna).

Catastrophe:

Dante’s anger makes him fight with Randal some minutes due to the lovely conflict., but after the fight we see that both friends are just talking normally.

Moment of last suspense:

The movie just ends with Randal getting mad with Dante about how he just acted and telling him that is not correct blaming him, because almost all of Dante's mistakes were the ones that made grow all the problems; and with this ending, we could say that the characters just finished their long Day, and for Dante, everything has been a normal day.

Main point:  In this last part we see that Dante accepts that almost every unsuccesfull action that happened that day was associated in some way with his own decitions and mistakes.
