Four high school friends, already battling raging testosterone levels, are outraged and awestruck when a smug classmate gets lucky with a real live girl. Making a pact, the four vow to lose their virginity by prom night, no mean feat given the guys' spectacular lack of familiarity with charm, finesse and the workings of the human body. So, a simple plot, splendidly executed by the largely unknown youn find out more...

The film follows a group of high school students growing up in southern California and is supposedly based on the real-life adventures of Cameron Crowe.
