Based on real events, it is a teen comedy about a group of high school students in Southern California.

The movie is set in a Southern California suburb. In the Booker High School, Holden Donovan (Gregory Smith) who is a rebel, is fed up with principal Weller (Julie Bowen) who controls every activity of the students with tight fist. She suspends a girl for taping condoms to her dress to promote safe sex. She also suspends two boys who were kissing in the hallway. Principal Weller has her own agenda like running for the Superintendent of the school 
district.

Holden teams up with his classmates and decides to start a rebellion against the principal. He lines up a gang of students like his new girlfriend Charlotte (Stephanie Sherrin), cheerleader Katie (Caitlin Wachs), the geek Emily (Emy Coligado) and a gay guy Lawrence (Alex Anfanger). They also got the support of one of their teachers Mr. DrUcker (Malik Yoba) who encouraged them to fight for justice.

Soon, they organize a student body to take action against Weller and make changes in the school system. But the situation in the school turned out to be a state of anarchy and Mr. Drucker gets fired by the principal for his part in helping the students. The students tackles issues like sex education, freedom of speech, and controversial matters like kissing in public and homosexuality. But towards the end everything winds down and the whole mess gets cleared.

Director Josh Stolberg boldly narrates a tale of teen cause and gives an inside view of the American school system. The film deals with the injustice and abuses in the school system. He interviews many students to get first hand information about their grievances. He deals with the real world and real kids. He has assembled a good looking, impressive cast.

The cast as a whole is good. Well known Nicole Richie makes her feature acting debut through this film. Most of the cast members are new to acting in films but some of them show that they have a real talent in the field.

The movie is based on real life experience of some students. Many high school students are usually depicted as sex maniacs and drug addicts and most of the time their side of the story is not revealed. This film definitely gives an  insight into the real life of some of the real students. Movie has bad language and sexual content, but as a whole it has some entertainment value.

We rate this movie as AVERAGE.
