[edit] Plot

Dave, Sam and Jeff have lied, cheated and schemed their way through college. The three roommates are about to graduate from Holden University when nerdy Ethan (Jason Schwartzman) accidentally catches Dave (Devon Sawa) cheating on an exam. Ethan threatens to expose the three slackers, unless they use their unethical expertise to get him the brainy babe, Angela. Ethan's lack of experience and strange personality only add the challenge. The only thing to do is get Ethan before he can get the guys.
