Tim's getting a future... whether he likes it or not!

RomanceComedyDrama

In this coming-of-age comedy, Tim Dunphy is leading a go-nowhere existence, spending his days smoking pot and hanging out with his best friend, Drugs Delaney. But Tim's lazy days of getting high are jettisoned after a brush with the law convinces his blue-collar dad to send him to a Connecticut prep school. The one saving grace of the new school is Jane, a fellow student Tim falls for immediately.

VIBE

A charmingly awkward dive into adolescent angst and first love. It feels like a hazy, nostalgic memory of suburban teenage years, filled with goofy pranks and earnest, fumbling romance.
