Watched online, poor print, blurry.

17 songs in the Soundtracks, 9 Performed by Josh Henderson. Didn't seem like that many; must have been partials.

Really boring, tedious portrayal of teen being a jerk so that he won't get hurt by girls. At the end he sings a song at the "prom" (seems like it's in the campus gym) to apologize, and she accepts.

Characters all go to a Catholic school where Tom Arnold is a priest/teacher/admin(?). Danny Bonaduce has a cameo as "himself" doing community service promoting marriage at a voluntary poorly-attended assembly.

Not even mildly amusing/entertaining at any moment. AVOID.

Rated 5.6 (3,430)

indie, dir. Anderson; 5-
