 <!-- Per WP:FILMPLOT, plot summary should be between 400 to 700 words. -->
Rob Gordon is a music enthusiast with limited understanding of women. After being abruptly dumped by Laura, a lawyer and his live-in girlfriend of two years, he is left despondent. 

By day, Rob manages Championship Vinyl, a record store where he and his employees, Dick and Barry, indulge in their encyclopedic musical knowledge. They compile "Top 5" lists for every imaginable occasion, mock their few customers' tastes, and rarely sell records; Laura's breakup cracks Rob's Top 5 list of the worst breakups he's ever had. 

While serious, his relationship with Laura was rocky, as he often had to ask for money, and at one point he slept with another woman while she was pregnant without his knowledge, prompting her to abort the baby secretly while they reconciled. After she tells her friend Liz this, and his mother calls him out on his doomed relationships, Rob decides on a journey to understand his relationship failures by reconnecting with his other former partners on the Top 5 list. 

Number 1 is Allison, a girl he kissed in middle school, only for her to kiss a different boy a few hours later. Rob discovers she went on to marry the other boy, convincing him they were meant to be together. 

Number 2 is Penny Hardwick, his high school girlfriend who he dumped after she routinely refused to be intimate with him, only to sleep with another guy shortly afterward. He meets with the now movie critic over a movie and dinner, only to discover that the sexual encounter was a post-breakup fling; Penny tells him off, but Rob takes solace in knowing it was his own insecurity that caused the breakup. 

Number 3 is a trendy girl named Charlie Nicholson and his most serious relationship. Rob felt insecure around her and eventually got dumped for someone in her league, which sent him into a deep depression. He learns that she has sworn off men in favor of a career; when they meet at a party, he realizes she is vain and elitist, allowing him to move on. 

Finally, Rob meets with Number 4, Sarah Kendrew, with whom he shared a post-breakup relationship after Charlie, only for her to meet another man. Reuniting with her, he discovers that she is mentally unwell and thus routinely sabotages her relationships, so he drops the subject out of pity. 

Teen skateboarders Vince and Justin, frequently cause trouble in the store until Rob discovers their music project, The Kinky Wizards. Impressed by their recording, he offers them a record deal under his newly founded label, Top 5 Records. 

In his personal life, Rob continues to long for Laura, who is living with Ian, a man he initially does not recognize. However, after finding a letter addressed to "I. Raymond," Rob realizes he is their former upstairs [[lifestyle guru]] neighbor, nicknamed "Ray", known for keeping them awake with his frequent sexual encounters, which they used to jokingly discuss. This makes him extremely insecure, and he resorts to [[stalking]] until Ian confronts him. 

Rob's relationship with Laura takes a pivotal turn when her father, who was fond of Rob, dies. Attending the funeral, Rob realizes he has never truly committed to Laura, neglecting both their relationship and his own future in the process. This self-awareness prompts the couple to move back in together.

Rob then meets a music columnist and develops a crush on her. While making a mixtape for her, he wonders whether he is simply jumping from one attraction to another. In a heartfelt conversation with Laura, Rob acknowledges that other women are mere fantasies, while Laura is his reality, someone he never tires of. He proposes to her, and although she thanks him for asking, she encourages him to revisit his passion for [[disk jockey|DJing]].

At a celebration for the release of Vince and Justin's single, organized by Laura, Rob is pleasantly surprised by the performance of Barry's band. He also breathes a sigh of relief when Barry opts against naming the band "Sonic Death Monkey" or "[[Kathleen Turner]] Overdrive," choosing instead "Barry Jive and the Uptown Five." Finally, Rob creates a mixtape for Laura, confident that he has finally learned how to make her happy.
