The familiar
Cinderella concept gets a sun-splashed makeover in
Death to the Supermodels director
Joel Silverman's wave-riding
teen comedy. The misfits of Laguna Beach high school have suffered more abuse than they're willing to take at the hands of in-crowd bully
Tyler Masters (
Ryan Carnes), and as the senior trip draws ever closer their hunger to seek revenge for years of humiliation grows too powerful to resist. Enter newly arrived high school student
Jordan (
Corey Sevier), a former east-coaster who seems to be having a hard time fitting in at Laguna Beach. When
Jordan learns that the highlight of the senior year is the annual surfing contest in Costa Rica, he soon hatches a plan that will give the downtrodden outcasts a much-needed ego boost while simultaneously serving
Tyler with a well-deserved comeuppance. In order to do it right, though,
Jordan will have to convince outcast hip-hopper
Mo (
Sisqo), morose
Doris (
Laura Bell Bundy), skate-punk
Taz (
Miko Hughes), and virginal
Larry (
Lee Norris) to break for Costa Rica a week early and train for the competition under the tutelage of loopy former surf pro
Rip (
Harland Williams). It's not going to be easy, but if
Jordan can pull the troops together and make this wild plan work, he just might manage to leave his mark on Laguna Beach High after all.
