The Curiosity Of Chance

High school coming-of-age tale. It is the 1980's -- and new wave angst and gender-bending fashion are all the rage. The new kid at school, Chance Marquis is a somewhat awkward teenager who is the target of the school bully. To deal with this dilemma, Chance turns to the opposite ends of the high school spectrum for help. On one end is the flamboyant drag queen and at the other end, the varsity jock. Includes conventions of the high school genre -- the idiot faculty, the good-hearted but misguided parents, the fairy tale reversal of popularity.

This reminded me of one of those after school specials, really. Gay boy in high school, dresses in drag and gets bullied to the "top" jock. The part that is not so realistic (as if any of it is), was the part of the other high school jock who just so happens to become "friends" with the gay boy (mind you Brett Chuckerman is ONE sweet guy!!!). Liked it, ok.
