This movie is a comical story of kids coming to age. The main characters are a group of male high school seniors that want to get layed before they graduate. THe story taces there actions up until and during the big night, PROM!
--Elizabeth, Resident Scholar

A group of teens vow to lose their virginity by prom night, with hilarious consequences. This 1999 Comedy is a hilarious reworking of the teen sex comedys of the 80's and is a damn fine film in it's own right. It doesnt just explore the teens hunt for sex but their own feelings and insights into this ALL IMPORTANT right of passage, a funny coming of age story.

Oh year, Jason Biggs humps a pie too.

--Ken Carper, Resident Scholar
