Discovering Alastair Simms' unorthodox school Carmichael happily enrols and learns the quaint tricks of the day for securing the admiration of a fair lady. Ultimately as a star pupil he teaches the Master a thing or two about true love when everything turns out just fine in the end.

A funny movie. There is an excellent cast, but they are not at their strongest in this movie. This movie show how several losers are given a crash course in how to be the alpha male by a guy known as Dr. P. (Billy Bob Thorton).
