You get what you pay for.

Comedy

Dealing with a sociopathic school bully, three high school freshmen hire a low-budget bodyguard to protect them, not realizing he is just a homeless beggar and petty thief looking for some easy cash.

VIBE

This is a goofy, earnest high school comedy about unlikely heroes and even unlikelier mentors. It feels like a throwback to 2000s teen flicks, full of awkward humor and a surprisingly sweet core, despite the chaotic antics. Expect a lighthearted, feel-good ride with plenty of laughs.
