Todd Phillips (Old School) directs Academy Award® Winner Billy Bob Thornton as the suave Dr. P, recruited to coach the woefully inept and nerdy Roger (Heder, Napoleon Dynamite) to overcome a plethora of anxiety issues so he can win the love of the girl of his dreams, Amanda (Jacinda Barrett, Poseidon). Roger is an unlucky meter reader who enrols in a top-secret confidence building class to overcome his low self-esteem and angst issues. Dr. P and his assistant employ unorthodox and often dangerous methods, but surrounded by a band of misfit classmates, Roger’s confidence soars, he becomes top of the class and gains the courage to ask out Amanda. Roger quickly realises that star students have a way of catapulting Dr. P’s competitive side into overdrive. And, soon enough, the professor sets out to destroy Roger’s personal and professional life. With nothing off limits to Dr. P, not even the object of Roger’s affection, he must quickly find a way to show Amanda Dr. P’s true colours whilst simultaneously beating the master at his own game.With a host of extras, School for Scoundrels is a hilarious comedy featuring witty humour and an impressive cast, including the genius pairing of comic legends Billy Bob Thornton and Jon Heder.
