 From director/screenwriter Amy
Heckerling (Clueless,
Fast
Times at Ridgemont High) comes LOSER, a college comedy about
trusting yourself, taking a chance and turning your back on the
people who take advantage of you.
Nerdy, good-natured Paul Tannek (American
Pie's Jason Biggs) is a square peg in the round hole that
is New York University -- his pot-smoking, girl-chasing roommates
hate him, and everyone else on campus ignores him. But when he
meets fellow student Dora Diamond (Mena Suvari, American
Beauty), he discovers a kindred spirit. Dora is practically
broke, has nowhere to live, and her boyfriend, Professor Edward
Alcott (Oscar® nominee Greg Kinnear), is more interested
in manipulating her than loving her.
The more people push them around, the closer Paul and Dora
get-- she helps him dress better and appreciate New York, he
lets her stay with him while she finds a job. In the end, Paul
and Dora not only fall for each other, they find the courage
to walk away from the people who walk all over them-proof that
even losers get lucky sometimes.
