A freshman at a small art school tries to adapt to college life, get a girl to notice him, and solve a murder mystery on campus.
The main character is awkward and weird, yet he is still likable. I hoped he succeeded in trying to get noticed as an artist or get the girl he likes to go out with him. It does get a little meta at one point where one character talks about all the art-school stereotypes in one classroom, but the movies is filled with stereotypes. Nothing really deep happens in the movie, yet it was still entertaining and enjoyable to watch. The ending is pretty goofy and slightly unexpected, but it fits with how odd the movie is in general.
Grade: B-
