==Plot== In the stereotypical high school community of [[John Hughes (filmmaker)|John Hughes]] High in [[Southern California]], Priscilla, head [[cheerleader]], separates from her [[American football|football]] star/[[slacker]] boyfriend, Jake Wyler. Discovering she is now dating timid and weird Les to spite him, one of Jake's friends, Austin, makes a bet with him to turn nerdy Janey Briggs into the [[prom queen]]. Janey is not insecure enough to feel any need to change herself, nor does she feel anything for him at first, but that does not stop him from trying. As Jake attempts to court Janey, he faces adversity from his own sister, Catherine, who is [[Incest|sexually attracted to him]]; Janey's unnoticed admirer and best friend, Ricky Lipman; and memories from his past football career. Catherine assists him by "drastically" altering Janey's appearance (removing her glasses and ponytail), instantly making her drop-dead gorgeous. Meanwhile, Janey's younger brother, Mitch, and his friends Ox and Bruce, make a pact to lose their virginity by graduation. Mitch tries to impress his longtime crush, Amanda Becker, with a [[love letter]]. As the prom draws near, Jake becomes known for failing to lead the football team to victory at last year's state championship game. Austin then tricks Jake into telling Janey about his bet to spite Priscilla, pretending to whisper the secret bet in Janey's ear, causing her to leave upset. On prom night, Austin and Janey go together; a jealous Jake and Catherine have a dance-off with Austin and Janey, with Catherine dancing in a sexual manner. Janey runs off crying. Meanwhile, Mitch and his friends are having a lousy time until Amanda arrives and Mitch gives her the letter (to which she responds she does not have sex with every loser who does such, but gives them [[handjob]]s), Bruce hooks up with foreign exchange student [[Areola]], and Ox hooks up with Catherine. Jake is awarded prom king, and the votes for prom queen are tied. Everyone thinks that it is between Janey and Priscilla, but they are shocked when [[conjoined twins]] Kara and Sara Fratelli win prom queen. During the prom king and queen dance, Janey supposedly left with Austin to go to a hotel. Jake goes to the hotel room where he finds Austin having sex with a girl but is shocked to find that it is Priscilla and not Janey, while Les videotapes them with his pants down. Austin tells Jake that Janey "ran home to her daddy." Jake punches Austin and Priscilla, knocking them unconscious for humiliating Janey. He then punches Les for "being really weird"; afterwards, he runs to Janey's, only to be told she is on her way to [[art school]] in Paris. Jake confronts her before she boards the plane, but uses a plethora of [[cliché]]d lines from other film to convince her to not go. His final (and only original) speech suggests they would be better off separated, but Janey mistakenly believes he is quoting ''[[The Karate Kid (1984 film)|The Karate Kid]]'', and she decides to stay with him. In a [[mid-credits scene]], Janey's father Mr. Briggs drunkenly assaults himself with pies in his kitchen. In a [[post-credits scene]], a previously seen [[Albinism in humans|albino]] folk singer, an [[afro]]ed student with a guitar, reveals that she has become [[Visual impairment|blind]] and calls out for assistance upon completing her song, while an audience member calls for another to assist in stealing her guitar.
