Friendship... there's nothing in it for anybody.
Local weatherman and womanizer Steve (Owen Wilson) and manic-depressive, childish Ben (Zach Galifianakis) are childhood friends. When Ben learns that he has inherited a sum of money from his recently deceased father, the duo embark on a trip to their hometown. However, Steve and Ben suddenly find themselves in a legal battle with Ben's sister (Amy Poehler) and her father's young widow when it turns out that her father has left her a very large inheritance.
Steve Dallas burns through his paycheck quickly every month convincing women to have sex with him. He can afford this lifestyle as he is the weatherman for local news channel WRSC. Although expected to make his own forecasts, he relies on assistant Delia Shepard to do it for him. Steve spends his free time with childhood friend Ben Baker, a bearded hippie who spends his days smoking cannabis.
One day, Ben violently bursts into the WRSC premises to tell Steve that Ben's father has died. Steve drives him to the funeral, but they arrive late due to Ben insisting they save some crayfish from ending up as bait. Despite missing all but the lowering of the casket, Ben is received with open arms by his stepmother Angela, a young special education teacher who married Ben's father just five years ago.
At the reading of the will, Angela is left nothing, in accordance with her wishes Ben's sister Terry is left $350,000 and Ben is left the family farm, general store, and $2,000,000.
