Socially awkward 17-year-old cinephile, Lawrence Kweller, played by Isaiah Lehtinen, is self-absorbed and movie-obsessed.

There older store manager, Alana, played by Romina D'Ugo, takes him under her wing. Meanwhile Lawrence sabotages every high school relationship he has with his narcissistic film snobbery. Faced with the impending reality of university life, Lawrence must change his ways. Written by KS at ClassicCoupleAcademy.com |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | A majority of the video rental store set was obtained from an abandoned Blockbuster that had been sitting vacant for around a decade in Owen Sound, Ontario. Asbestos in the store forced the movie crew to find a different building to be the set location. They found an empty thrift shop in Ajax, Ontario and built it into the "Sequels Video" store.
