In the awkward crucible of high school, a brilliant but socially invisible student named Michael Peck, played by Keir Gilchrist, finds his orderly world upended by a single, ill-advised kiss. His life is already a carefully managed routine under the watchful eyes of his eccentric parents, portrayed by Marcia Cross and Adam Arkin, who are more focused on their own neuroses than his social survival. When a rebellious and popular girl, Brie, brought to life by Brie Larson, unexpectedly enters his orbit, Michael is thrust into a hilarious and chaotic journey far outside his comfort zone. This sharp-witted comedy, directed by Michael A. Nickles, navigates the treacherous waters of teenage identity, parental pressure, and the unpredictable nature of first connections. As Michael attempts to balance his parents' bizarre demands with the terrifying prospect of actual high school popularity, he discovers that the path to fitting in might require first daring to stand out.
