Others have covered the plot, a 20-something slacker who watches porn, smokes pot, and gets his mother's lesbian girlfriend pregnant. So it goes. What's great about this movie is that Hlyner (the slacker) doesn't learn some huge moral lesson, just like in real life. He doesn't have some great epiphany. He doesn't change his slacker ways very much (you get the feeling he's too attached to them - any guy who wonders why they don't have porn on cable TV in the morning defines himself as a slacker).
What he does is make you sympathize and feel his distant connection to the world around him. That alone is worth watching the movie. There are some genuinely funny moments, not like in a comedy, but the kind you've probably had yourself, where you don't laugh out loud at the time but you recall it with amusement for years.
Check it out, it's worth your time.
