“In suburbia no one can hear you scream.”
At 104 pounds dripping wet, baby-faced sophomore Michael Peck (age 15) is not exactly the coolest guy at American High. Peck’s teachers make him feel like an idiot, his classmates make him feel like a geek and his home life is just as bad, with parents who schedule family time in their planners and require him to sign contracts with them about his extra-curricular activities.
This film captures the excruciatingly awkward middle school years with relatable humor. It's a feel-good journey about finding your place and embracing your quirks, even when life feels overwhelming and overly structured.
