Storyline

David Rogers, a senior at J.W. Hughes High School in Arlington Heights, Illinois, does not run among the popular kids but aspires to do so, he wanting to make a name for himself before graduation.

User Reviews

Unique storyline.

Like another reviewer commented, I found the opening scenes too farcical and stretched the imagination, but the following story wasn't that bad. Andrew J Walker at least keeps the acting on track.

I felt the little sister Devyn - played by Millie Wilkinson, was a surplus and not very nice character, and being so young why was she allowed to be a spare part on a date, instead of being at home with her Dad and Mum ? I also find the little girls wide eyes a little concerning.
