Nervous little 104-pound sophomore Michael Peck would like to join the wrestling team, but when he breeches the subject to his intellectual-snob parents after getting booted from band, they're unable to hear him and prepare a contract for him to join the Science Club instead (a parent-child agreement documented in legal terms which he is forced to sign and obligated to maintain). Skipping school with his best bud Geiger, they run across two senior girls, Emily and Becca, also skipping. Peck and Emily begin a tenuous relationship, mostly due to Peck's interest in her. They are worlds apart in savvy (she with much, he with none), but it's interactions with her and experiences in his classes that shape Peck's forced-upon science fair project, which, when presented, rocks the genuinely indifferent and platitude-numbed school system from its slumbering core.

| User ReviewNivek MGreat movie! Nice characters, funny and riveting the whole ride through! |
| User ReviewSeth YOne of my favorite underdogs, major feel good film! |
| User ReviewMike CExcellent movie. I was surprised when I saw it was a comedy, though, since I only chuckled maybe twice throughout. The story and characters (notably Peck and Emily) were developed extremely well. But what stood out to me the most was the dialogue--being a teenager myself, this movie probably comes closer to replicating actual high school than anything else I've seen. It was surprising, actually: everything from the relationships to the subject matter of the conversations was pretty much true to real life. The darkness in this movie was perfect--just enough to elicit a response but not enough to get depressing. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this movie--that is, if you don't mind language. |
| User ReviewOvi GIt's unbelieveable how little information is known regarding this film so lemme enlighten you. Imagine yourself an average high school teenager (again), with day to day problems, Peck is neither the nerd n'or the jock, i'm glad however that this film doesn't take sides like so many others. Now imagine doing something completely out of the ordinary to attract attention, attention you never had or to make a name for yourself, or one of the main reasons, to impress the opposite sex, nothing out of the ordinary about that, but what Peck does IS. I admit i rather enjoyed this slow chilling paced film, mostly watched it cuz i got me curious about the final outcome, the result of Peck's science project almost throughout the film...at the end being something completely random and weird. This is not a bad film, it is badly marketed and for some reason Keir Glichrist (Peck), here, reminds me of napoleon Dynamite. Enjoy Peace! |
| User ReviewSarah KBrie and Keir are great. Movie was just "eh" |
| User ReviewBrandon TFun and bubbly to watch. Yet, the ending was too much, |
