High school stud (Freddie Prinze, Jr.) bets he can turn an outcast (Rachel Leigh Cook) into the prom queen in six weeks, but doesn't count on falling in love with her. Teen romantic comedy aims no higher than the built-in appeal of the premise, nearly sabotaging that modest goal with uninspired dialogue and a meandering storyline. Not helped by the main supporting characters, who include an obnoxious actor (Matthew Lillard) and a rather tame bitch (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe). Prinze, however, comes off as better than the material. Written by R. Lee Fleming, Jr. and, though uncredited, M. Night Shyamalan. Sarah Michelle Gellar is seen briefly as a student in the high school cafeteria.
