Rising young stars Colin Hanks and Schuyler Fisk head up an outstanding cast including Jack Black (Shallow Hal), Catherine O'Hara (Home Alone), John Lithgow (3rd Rock From the Sun), Harold Ramis and Lily Tomlin in this outrageous coming-of-age comedy.Shaun Brumder (Hanks) is content to be a bright, talented, but unfocused Southern Californian surf slacker -- until the day he discovers a novel by acclaimed author Martin Skinner. Inspired, he suddenly realises his life's ambition: to leave behind mind-numbing Orange County and study creative writing with Skinner at Stanford University.
But after being denied enrolment due to an admissions error, Shaun is forced to seek help not only from his girlfriend Ashley (Fisk) but also his hopelessly dysfunctional parents (O'Hara & Lithgow), stoner brother Lance (Black), and a host of hilarious circumstances to make his dream of escaping his hometown nightmare a reality.
