more of a drama about a dysfunctional family and the kid who's trying to overcome it to make it into an ivy league college. it certainly has plenty of comedy and a good love story to.

They play (respectively) an Orange County teen and aspiring writer named Shaun who yearns for admission to Stanford, and his sensible girlfriend who knows just how to nurture his dreams.
