Rising young stars Colin Hanks and Schuyler Fisk head up an outstanding cast
including Jack Black ("Shallow Hal"), Catherine O’Hara ("Home Alone"), John
Lithgow ("3rd Rock From the Sun"), Harold Ramis and Lily Tomlin in this
outrageous coming-of-age comedy.
Shaun Brumder (Hanks) is content to be a
bright, talented, but unfocused Southern California surf slacker - until the day
he discovers a novel by acclaimed author Martin Skinner.
Inspired, he suddenly
realizes his life’s ambition: to leave behind mind-numbing Orange County and
study creative writing with Skinner at Stanford University.
But after being
denied enrollment due to an admissions error, Shaun is forced to seek help not
only from his girlfriend Ashley (Fisk) but also his hopelessly dysfunctional
parents (O’Hara & Lithgow), stoner brother Lance (Black), and a host of
hilarious circumstances to make his dream of escaping his hometown nightmare a
reality.
