Cheats
Four high school friends use their various skills to create a crack team  of academic cheaters inCheats: Handsome (Trevor Fehrman), the ringleader  who finds a way to squirrel out of anything; Sammy (Elden Henson), his childhood  cohort, who's starting to wonder if honest effort might be more rewarding than  cheating; Victor (Matthew Lawrence), an up-and-coming thug with good looks; and  Applebee (Martin Starr), who writes the smallest and most precise crib notes of  all time. They've held it together until their senior year, when their  conflicting morals create rifts that threaten their solidarity.Cheatswants to be a combination of a classic heist flick and a celebration of the  outsider, likeRushmore; unfortunately, everything about the movie feels  false, from its depiction of the high school hierarchy to the implausible  schemes. Also featuring Mary Tyler Moore as the school principal.--Bret  Fetzer
