Point 18 - Story Arc

A brief sypnosis of the whole film:

  • The film starts with a young man narrating over the top of the opening titles. He is giving the audience background information into his life mainly about how he was bullied in primary school and wasn't very popular. We are given the oppression that he like a girl in this act.

  • It then goes into the present day where he is much older and shows him to be successful. Although physically he has changed into a man his appearance is still dorky and his social skills still lacking within the office environment. Whilst at work he receives an invitation to his High School Reunion and his past comes back to haunt him.

  • He visits his parents on the weekend to receive advise, they give him encouragement to return to high school. The whole high school reunion adventure takes part through out the weekend.

  • He arrives at the hotel and the first group of people he meets is the gang of bullies, who pestered him at school. They haven't matured at all resulting in mocking of the main character as he has been tripped up by one of them.

  • The film then goes on to show the whole weekend. The main character determined to impress ends up in a lot of embarrassing situations. The main embarrassment is when he tries to approach his old high school crush. However through all these embarrassing moments and a large disruption within the story line, the main character ends up with his high school crush. Resulting in the group of bullies leaving him alone
