CONFESSIONS OF A LATE BLOOMER

Comedy
For 15-year-old Donny, high school is more irritating than a lifelong case of athlete's foot. He's the smallest in the class and is only ever noticed when he's the butt of someone's joke. To escape the pummeling of his life, he meakly accepts the school bully's dare to kiss Sheila, the girl of his dreams. Suddenly Donny finds himself on an absurd journey to manhood. By the end, he proves to the world that manliness is just a state of mind... and a little fake body hair.
