Synopsis
After years of homeschooling, dim-bulb teen Harry Dunne finally makes the leap to public school and meets the equally intellectually challenged Lloyd Christmas. The duo land in a “special needs” class created by Principal Collins in order to bilk money from parents to fund his condo in Waikiki, Hawaii. His corruption is discovered by Jessica, a fellow student who asks Harry and Lloyd to help her prove Collins’ guilt.
