Can a privileged sorority airhead find love with a mentally and physically challenged boy she exploits in order to win a campus competition? Will the hard-hearted brat turn soft and see the beauty inside the soul of the simpering lad in the wheelchair? Does this young man, whom everyone refers to as a retard, mature overnight into a regular, literally upstanding fellow? Will his clinging mother call his sexy girlfriend a slut? How about that handsome jock who used to sleep with little Miss Campus Cutie and who's now being exceptionally cruel to his handicapped rival--will he himself end up a pathetic cripple? Has Christina Ricci hit rock bottom? And, finally, could this be one of the worst movies ever made?

If you answered yes to all of the questions above, you're too smart to pay good money to see a pumpkin turn into a turkey.
