'''Real Time''' is a 2008 Canadian comedy/drama directed by Randall Cole. It stars Creator/JayBaruchel and Randy Quaid.
Andy Hayes (Baruchel) is a gambler who's in way too deep with the sharks. Ever-clinging to the idea that all he needs is one more chance, he's surprised when hitman Reuben (Quaid) comes to him and tells him his bosses have had enough and want him dead. Being a rather amicable fellow, he gives Andy 1 hour to reflect, visit loved ones, do anything he wants before he meets his maker. What follows is a funny, sometimes heart-wrenching film about life, death, and second chances.

!!This film contains examples of:
*BaitAndSwitch: [[spoiler:Andy is not the one one who ends up with a bullet to the brain.]]
*BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Andy tearfully tells his grandmother that despite everything, she was the only one in his whole life to ever treat him with kindness or respect.
*BornUnlucky: Andy sees himself as this.
*BullyingADragon: As if Andy’s financial woes weren’t enough, he was apparently overheard calling his hare-lipped loan shark “funny face”.
*BunnyEarsLawyer: Reuben's probably the most accommodating hitman you'll ever meet...until it's time for business.
*ClusterFBomb: Andy's first words spoken on screen are almost exclusively this.
*CosmicPlaything: Andy declares himself the ultimate one.
*DeadManWalking: [[spoiler: It’s not Andy.]]
*DeadpanSnarker: Andy, full stop.
*DisappearedDad: Andy briefly mentions his.
*EvenEvilHasStandards: It's revealed [[spoiler: Reuben was actually sent to kill Andy once before, but upon finding out his mark was ''a teenager'' (at the time), decided to spare the kid and quietly pay off his debts himself.]]
*FaceDeathWithDignity: Reuben urges Andy to do this.
*FunnyBackgroundEvent: Andy face-planting onto his grandmother's lawn from the second story window in another attempt to escape from Reuben, and failing- ''repeatedly''- to get to his feet.
*FakeNationality: Randy Quaid as an Australian hitman.
*GetItOverWith: Andy eventually taunts Reuben with this [[note]]with his grandmother probably watching, no less[[/note]] and gets a bullet to the knee for his trouble.
*HitmanWithAHeart: Reuben
*JerkassWoobie: Foul-mouthed and foolish though he may be, you can't help but feel sorry for Andy.
*KindheartedCatLover: Despite all his faults, Andy seems to genuinely care for his cat Cleo, moreso than other people or even himself. Reuben calls him out on this.
**His grandmother is also in possession of ten cats, some of whom she admits are neighborhood strays she couldn't leave homeless.
*LoanShark: Reuben works for one.
*MultitaskedConversation: Andy and his grandmother quickly and cleverly work up a dialogue that (temporarily) allows him to escape by way of his asking if her old cat is still alive. His grandmother tells him she's upstairs and he goes to see. [[spoiler: the cat died when Andy was 11.]] See FunnyBackgroundEvent.
*OneLastSmoke
*PetTheDog: [[spoiler: Reuben leaves Andy a check for $68,000.]]
*RealTime: Ironically enough, no. We see Andy's supposed last 60 minutes of life play out over a little under ''two'' hours.
*TookALevelInKindness: Andy
*TrappedByGamblingDebts: Andy, to the tune of a whopping ''$68,000.''
*UsedToBeASweetKid: Andy, until he started gambling.
*WhamLine:
---> "'Bad luck' is finding out what you thought was an ulcer [[spoiler: ''is really a fucking tumor!''"]]
