Lovelorn meter reader Roger Waddell signs up for a secret confidence class after deciding he needs a complete personality overhaul to win over Amanda. Jon Heder's Roger expects self-help; instead he lands under the thumb of Dr. P, a swaggering instructor Billy Bob Thornton makes equal parts mentor, bully, and rival.

Jacinda Barrett is Amanda, the neighbor caught in the middle of their escalating competition.
