Summary

A high-school student is rejected by every college on his list, not because of his own shortcomings but because of his ridiculously inept guidance counselor, who sends the wrong transcripts. Colin Hanks (yes, that's Tom's son) stars as an Orange County kid who just wants to get into Stanford and become a writer. To fix the transcript problem, he enlists his slacker brother, Jack Black, who drives him to the school to talk to the dean of admissions.
