June has arrived, and Frankie (Jared Leto -- PANIC ROOM, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM) is sure he's blown his exams ... along with his one shot at getting into college! But before the test results hit, he'll have a wild time pursuing his summer's major goals: planning the ultimate beach bash ... and getting better acquainted with the babes in bikinis he's admired from afar! If you're ready for sexy laughs, don't miss the entertaining fun of Frankie's hilarious summer to remember!
