When a geeky high-school valedictorian throws caution to the wind by expressing his love for a popular cheerleader during his graduation speech, life finally starts to get interesting in this
coming-of-age comedy adapted from the book by journalist/author/screenwriter
Larry Doyle.
Denis Cooverman (
Paul Rust) may have brains to spare; it's guts that he lacks -- or at least, he did until today. Stepping up to the podium to deliver an inspirational speech to his graduating class,
Denis decides that the time has finally come to call out his classmates on their peccadilloes and declare his love for the prettiest girl in school --
Beth Cooper (
Hayden Panettiere). Much to
Denis' surprise,
Beth responds by accepting an invitation to a party at his house later that day. But
Beth's meathead boyfriend,
Kevin (
Shawn Roberts), is none-too-pleased that his high school prize is mingling with the biggest dweeb in school, and when
Kevin shows up at his house and tears the place apart in a fit of rage,
Denis, his best friend
Rich (
Jack Carpenter),
Beth, and her friends
Cammy (
Lauren London) and
Treece (
Lauren Storm) all pile into
Beth's car and flee for their lives. For four long years
Denis sat silently behind
Beth in class, pining for a way to make his love known. Now, over the course of one long night,
Denis will finally get to know the girl of his dreams better than he ever thought possible. If he manages to survive until morning, it's sure to be the story of a lifetime.
