At home, Oliver becomes concerned that the relationship and sex life of his parents is falling apart and that his dad (Taylor) is depressed. Worse yet, new age guru Graham (Considine), an ex-boyfriend of his mother's (Hawkins), has moved in next door, and his seductive and flirtatious character is rousing Oliver's suspicions.
Meanwhile Oliver's relationship with Jordana is growing, but he learns that her mother has developed a potentially fatal brain tumour. Oliver considers poisoning Jordana's beloved dog to make the death of her mother less painful. Later, he attends an early Christmas dinner at Jordana's house and he witnesses her father break down. Unsettled, he decides that the Jordana he loves is at risk because the emotional events surrounding her will "''make her gooey on the inside''". He cuts off contact with Jordana because he thinks it will make her ordeal easier, an example of his unintentionally cruel and incompetent social methods.
Suspecting his mother and Graham are having an affair, and seeing that his father is depressed Oliver attempts to repair his parent's relationship. One night he finds that his mother and Graham have gone to the beach. He tracks them down there, and whilst searching for them on the crowded shore, sees Jordana with a new boyfriend. Heartbroken, he heads home, but on the way back, sees his mother with Graham, and assumes the worst. Enraged, he breaks into Graham's house, gets drunk, and commits minor acts of vandalism. When Graham comes home, he finds Oliver but returns him home with minimal fuss. The next morning, Oliver awakens to see that both his parents aren't angry with him, and are reconciling, although his mother admits that she gave Graham a handjob.
However, Oliver is still distraught about losing Jordana and is unable to obtain an audience with her to explain his actions. Frustrated, he sulks for weeks, until he sees her on the beach. Running towards her he explains his actions, and learns that Jordana has broken up with her new boyfriend. Despite her anger, Oliver stays with her until she finally finds the heart to forgive him, and the pair begin to reconcile.
The original score was composed by Andrew Hewitt, long-time collaborator of Ayoade, recorded at Air Studios with The Composers Ensemble orchestra.

Ayoade was born an only child to a Norwegian mother, Dagny (née Baassuik), and a Nigerian father, Layide Ade Laditi Ayoade. Ayoade studied at St. Joseph's College in Ipswich, Suffolk and later studied law at St Catharine's College, Cambridge (1995–1998) where he won the Martin Steele Prize for play production and became president of the prestigious Footlights during 1997 -1998.
While in Footlights, Ayoade acted in and wrote many shows. He and Footlights vice-president John Oliver wrote two pantomimes together: ''Sleeping Beauty'', and ''Grimm Fairy Tales''. Ayoade acted in both Footlights' 1997 and 1998 touring shows: ''Emotional Baggage'' and ''Between a Rock and a Hard Place'' (directed by Cal McCrystal).
On 8 September 2007 he married the actress Lydia Fox. They live in Gipsy Hill, South London.
In 2004 Ayoade and Holness took the Marenghi character to Channel 4, creating the spoof horror comedy series ''Garth Marenghi's Darkplace''. He directed and also appeared as Dean Learner, Garth's publisher, who plays Thornton Reed, a hospital administrator who bears a trademark shotgun and answers to hospital boss "Won Ton".
Ayoade's ''Darkplace'' character, Dean Learner, was resurrected in 2006 to host a comedy chat show, ''Man to Man with Dean Learner,'' on Channel 4. The different guests were played each week by Holness.
The film premiered at the 35th Toronto International Film Festival in September 2010. Following a generally positive reception it was picked up by The Weinstein Company for a North American release. The film also played at the 54th London Film Festival in October 2010 and was played out of competition at the 27th Sundance Film Festival in January 2011. It was also screened along with 400 other films at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival the next month. It went on general release in the UK on March 18 and was released on June 3 in the US.
In 2007 he directed a live Arctic Monkeys DVD entitled ''At the Apollo'', which was recorded at the Manchester Apollo. It was previewed at Vue cinemas across the UK during October 2008 and was released on DVD the following month, winning the "Best DVD" title at the NME Awards that year.
Ayoade also directed, co-wrote and co-starred (with fellow ''Darkplace'' and ''IT Crowd'' cast member Matt Berry) in ''AD/BC: A Rock Opera'', and has appeared on T4.
He helped write ''The Mighty Book of Boosh'', along with Noel Fielding, Julian Barratt, Rich Fulcher, Dave Brown and Michael Fielding.
He is also featured in Paul King's film, ''Bunny and the Bull'', where he plays the role of an extremely boring museum tour guide.
In January 2011, Ayoade appeared on The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2010.
