Whatever It Takes
ComedyDramaRomance94 min
Ryan Woodman is a shy high school senior fixated on Ashley Grant, the popular girl who doesn’t return his interest. When James Franco’s Chris Campbell, a star athlete with his own crush on Ryan’s smart friend Maggie, proposes that they help each other win over the girls they want, the plan turns into a messy exchange of dating advice and mixed signals. Shane West is Ryan, caught between his long-shot fantasy and the person who already knows him best, as the boys’ scheme starts to blur the line between who they think they want and who actually fits.
