About this movie

Carolyn's (Christina Ricci) sorority sisters set their sights on the Sorority of the Year award and coaching challenged athletes is their ticket to the trophy. But when the queen of formals finds herself mentoring Pumpkin (Hank Harris), a disabled athlete, their two worlds collide. Despite the hostility they feel from all sides, a tender romance grows in this inspiring comedy about fitting in.

Ratings and reviews

I rented this movie to see one of my favorite indie actors, watched the trailer, and went into this with high hopes, that were crushed pretty quickly into the movie. This movie has strong message, and it is clear, but I can't take this movie seriously, because it treats itself like a comedy half the time, and the other half like it's a profound drama, and the clashing of those two doesn't mix well. There were good moments and bad ones, and overall the movie just seemed mediocre and poorly written. 5/10

This movie was so juicy... Nonstop want

A rom-com that somehow manages to hit well with a dark comedy audience. Kind of in it's own league.
