    not bad.

    Humble pie, sometimes called american fork... written and starring hubbel palmer. Tracy is waaaay overweight and unpopular. And because he lacks confidence, everyone takes advantage of him. His acting coach even starts dating his sister, using tracy's ticket! His sister seems to be his only friend. The running gag is that he keeps failing the driving test. But when tracy is charged with a crime, who will stand by him? And will he ever pass the test for his license? Keep an eye out for william baldwin in a supporting role. It's okay! Not a major work, but no big flaws or plot holes. It could have used more story in the story, a bit more character for the various characters. Directed by chris bowman, who had also worked on the napoleon dynamite series. I had already seen his masterminds, which was also pretty good!
