!Tropes for the film:
* BigApplesauce: Part of the film takes place in Manhattan.
* ObfuscatingDisability: Chip Sanders needed to use a wheelchair temporarily and continued to use it years later to gain sympathy from others. The wheelchair allowed him to be a huge {{Jerkass}} without people calling him out on it, guaranteed his job security, and made it easier for him to pick up girls.
* {{Tagline}}: "Credit-grabbing, back-stabbing, wife-nabbing. Just another day at the office".
* ThrowingOffTheDisability: Chip reveals he can walk; this ends up being his MoralEventHorizon as he has been pretending to be handicapped for ''years''.
