A lovable loser Paul Tannek, a small-town guy just starting college in New York City. With little cash, no friends and three hard-partying, girl-chasing roommates who taunt him when theyre not ignoring him, Pauls life is the pits. Then he meets kindred spirit, fellow student Dora Diamond (Mena Suvari) and things start to look up. But if Doras heartless boyfriend, their literature professor Edward Alcott (Greg Kinnear), doesnt get in the way of the budding romance, Pauls conniving roommates will. (Shock Entertainment)

Lately, I feel like we've finally seen the end of teen comedies that involve pooping, puking, and I don't know what else, just to make the target audience have a great time. But is that really a good thing? Perhaps the critics will stop tearing their hair out and the audience will have to get used to it. The fact is that when a female director tackles this genre, it will probably be something truly exceptional. Writer and director Amy Heckerling takes pride in her strong romantic storyline. Be that as it may, the romantic escapades of the dorky Jason Biggs (Jim from American Pie) and Mena Suvari (Kevin Spacey’s blonde nympho from American Beauty) are surprisingly enjoyable not only for female viewers. The story won't anger or offend anyone, but at the same time, it won't leave anything but a strange aftertaste like, "Yeah, I’ve seen something like this before, but I can't remember it anymore." I don't have amnesia, but five minutes after it ended I could only recall a few key scenes that will be gone from my head completely within a week at the latest. Maybe that's the intention...
