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. Directed and written by
