New Line CinemaDirected by Patrick Read Johnson
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)
Surprisingly good story of an overweight high school student dealing with bullies and a crush on an untouchable girl. His best friend is an entertaining Chris Owen, with a foul mouth and weak disposition. The jokes don't always work, and it can be too clever for its own good, but settles into a nice pace for the third act. Angus is voted king of the dance as a prank, and his queen is none other than the girl of his dreams. He can't dance, has never spoken a word to her and has yet another prank pulled on him at the dance, but overcomes everything for his "moment".
