Loser
http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/loser/

Paul Tannek (JASON BIGGS) is a nerdy, good-natured college student adrift in New York on a scholarship. His pot-smoking,girl-chasing roommates hate him, everyone else on campus
pushes him around or ignores him and Dora Diamond (MENA SUVARI), the girl of his dreams, turns out to have eyes only for their English Lit professor (GREG KINNEAR). Things appear pretty bleak until the college billets him in a local veterinary hospital. Then Paul suddenly finds himself with something everyone else wants: a place to party; an address that will allow Dora to access Financial Aid; and the realization that his knowledge of the professor’s affair with Dora could buy him an “A” if he plays his cards right.

The more people push them around, the closer Paul and Dora get. In the end, Paul and Dora not only fall for each other, they find the courage to walk away from the people who use them – proof that even losers get lucky sometimes. Columbia Pictures presents Loser.
