Nobody likes Ben (Jesse Eisenberg). Ben doesnt even like Ben. He's been kicked out of grad school, lives off his parents money, and bullies everyone in his life, including his roommate Kalyan (Kunal Nayyar), an earnest Nepalese immigrant. When Ben discovers that his grade school crush is marrying a straight-laced banker, he sets out to destroy their relationship and win her back. The New Group, in association with Lisa Matlin, presents The Spoils, a deeply personal and probing comedy written by Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network)
