| Synopsis |
| High school senior Bartleby
B Gaines is on his way to scoring eight out of eight rejection letters
from colleges--which isn't going to go over big with Mom and Dad.
At least he's not alone in the exclusion. Several of his crew of outcast
friends are in the same, college-less boat. So, how does a guy facing
a bleak career please his parents, and get noticed by dream girl Monica?
Simple: open his own university. B and his band of misfit freshmen
take liberal arts literally when they fool their parents and peers
and create the esteemed South Harmon Institute of Technology. Just
as they are settling in, B and company realize they've done their
jobs too well. Dozens of other college rejects show up for classes
at this less-than-lofty institute. Under the scornful eyes of the
privileged students from the neighboring college, B and his friends
forge ahead with maintaining a fake, functioning university. With
his future in the balance, it's going to take more than just sleight
of hand to keep B out of jail as he strives to get the girl, impress
his parents and just become 'accepted'. |
