Synopsis:
Amy Heckerling (CLUELESS, FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH) directs this
romantic comedy starring Jason Biggs as Paul Tannek, a nerdy college
freshman with a heart of gold, and Mena Suvari as Dora Diamond, the girl
of his dreams. Small-town boy Paul goes to the big city to attend college
with high hopes of fitting in and making friends. But from the start, he's
fighting an uphill battle. His dorky hat and earnest mannerisms drive his
cosmopolitan, ultra-hip roommates crazy, and he finds himself labeled a
loser, kicked out of their dorm suite, and living in a room in a
veterinary hospital. Meanwhile, Paul falls for Dora, a quirky free spirit
who is having a clandestine affair with their professor, Edward Alcott
(Greg Kinnear). Despite his feelings for her, Paul does his best to
protect Dora from the fact that Alcott doesn't care about her nearly as
much as she thinks he does. LOSER also includes brief cameo appearances by
Dan Akroyd, David Spade, Andy Dick, Steven Wright, Andrea Martin, Colleen
Camp, and Taylor Negron.
