Overview

Angus is a large, pathetic 14-year-old whose thoughts are most often filled with the image of only one girl, Melissa Lefevre. Angus is shy and thinks that he has no chance of ever 'getting' her. Being especially uncool, he is incredibly surprised (along with the rest of the school) that he is chosen to dance with her at the Winter Ball. The only one not surprised is the cool kid who set him up to fail, but Angus' best friend is going to help him win the heart of Melissa by developing a new look for him

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A deeply felt underdog story about a teenage boy learning to accept himself while navigating the minefield of adolescent social hierarchy. It's funny without being cruel, and ultimately tender about the messy business of growing up on the margins.
