ComedyRomance95 min

As graduation approaches, four high school friends make a pact to lose their virginity before the big night arrives. What starts as locker-room bravado turns into a string of awkward plans, bad advice, humiliating setbacks, and panicked attempts to seem more experienced than they are. Each guy chases a different idea of romance or status, and their deadlines only make things messier as crushes, parties, and rumors get in the way. Jason Biggs leads one of the most disastrous pursuits, while Seann William Scott shows up as the loudmouthed friend whose confidence causes problems of its own. Beneath the dares and embarrassment, the movie follows teenagers fumbling toward sex, friendship, and growing up.
