A nostalgic time-capsule of the nineties where a high school jock makes a bet to turn a mousey art student into the next prom queen. While cringey in some respects, the characters do learn and grow from each other. My favorite more for nineties nostalgia.
The cast includes Freddie Prince Jr., Rachel Cook, Paul Walker, Jodi Lyn O'Keefe, Kevin Pollak, Anna Paquin as well as others.
