Co-director of the controversial 1998
documentary Frat House,
Andrew Gurland attempts to follow in the
teen-
comedy footsteps of his partner on that film,
Todd Phillips (
Road Trip), with
Cheats. The film centers on
Handsome (
Trevor Fehrman) and
Sammy (
Elden Henson), a scheming pair of best pals who cheat their ways through elementary school and junior high. Once in high school, the duo meets
Victor (
Matthew Lawrence) and
Applebee (
Martin Starr) and prove that in cheating, four heads are better than two. But when their principal catches them, they are put on probation. With that in mind, the gang must decide whether to pull off one final, grandiose cheat at the risk of being caught and having their college dreams squelched. Although intended for a theatrical release,
Cheats had its premiere on
Cinemax before being released on home video and DVD.
