After spending an entire summer obsessing over the beautiful girl housesitting next door, shy Tom allows his slick, more confident brother Craig to set him up on a date with her. The operation involves a "Craig" makeover, the theft of Craig's classic car, borrowed identification, and, unfortunately, three dead bodies, a psychotic florist, and lethal threats from a Chinatown mob boss. An above-average teen "caper" romance, with a few unusually grim plot points. [Less]

The screenplay is immature at best, although with some cutting and embellishing, it might have been a far better entry into the genre.

Spins a lot of wheels, but doesn't really go anywhere.
