Plot / Synopsis
In School for Scoundrels, Jon Heder plays Roger, a
beleaguered New York City meter maid who is
plagued by anxiety and low self-esteem. In order
to overcome his feelings of inadequacy, Roger
enrolls in a top-secret confidence-building class
taught by the suavely underhanded Dr. P (Billy Bob
Thornton). Aided by his assistant, Lesher
(Michael Clarke Duncan), Dr. P uses unorthodox,
often dangerous methods, but he guarantees
results: Employ his techniques and you will
unleash your inner lion.
Surrounded by a band of misfit classmates – Walsh
(Matt Walsh), who’s dying to move out of mother’s
basement; Diego (Horatio Sanz), a punching bag for
his hen-pecker of a wife; and Eli (Todd Louiso), a
shy guy just looking for female companionship –
Roger’s confidence grows and he makes his way to
the head of the class, even finding the courage to
ask out his longtime crush, Amanda (Jacinda
Barrett). But Roger quickly discovers that star
students have a way of catapulting Dr. P’s
competitive side into high gear. Soon enough, the
teacher sets out to infiltrate and destroy Roger’s
personal and professional life. Nothing is off
limits for Dr. P, not even the object of
Roger’s affection. In order to show Amanda Dr.
P’s true colors, Roger must rally his new friends
and find a way to beat the master at his own game.
