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.
