The Rules of Attraction
ComedyDramaRomance111 min
At Camden College, a campus of spoiled, overprivileged students, a tangled triangle takes shape between a drug dealer, a virgin, and a bisexual classmate. James Van Der Beek is one of the key figures in that orbit, while Shannyn Sossamon and Jessica Biel move through the same parties, hookups, and crossed signals that keep pulling everyone together and apart. The story jumps among intersecting student lives, turning dorm rooms, bars, and campus routines into a web of bad timing, fixation, and misread intentions.
