Overview

High school senior Marlon Bowne is smitten with overachieving classmate Jessica Kailo. But, if he wants to have a shot with her, he’ll have to find a way to get into Ramsey College, Jessica’s top choice of schools. It won’t be easy, since the college is highly selective and Marlon’s grades are hardly impressive. That means the lovelorn teen will have to find a way to score high on the SATs and win over the college admissions committee.

Viewing Notes

Happened upon this while looking through HBOgo titles and it had, shockingly, never crossed my past. Another teen comedy from the guy behind BETTER OFF DEAD. While not as amazing as that other film, this is plenty of fun.
