Treating girls wrong never felt so right... Until he met her.

Comedy

An aspiring recording artist, Adam, is burned by a bad relationship experience and decides that if women won't respond to the "nice guy" then he'll be "the jerk." This is wildly successful with meaningless relationships, but when Adam meets and falls for Molly, who doesn"t fall for his jerk routine, Adam is forced to reconsider his dating philosophy.

VIBE

This film feels like a high school cafeteria on a Friday afternoon. It's full of awkward flirting, questionable life choices, and the desperate hope for a date. Expect plenty of cringe humor and a surprisingly sweet core.
