Most people see the fat kids as a source of amusement and ridicule. Their feelings are treated by others like those of a cartoon character. Jamie Palamino (Amy Smart), the ex-cheerleader, thinks of Chris Brander (Ryan Reynolds) as a friend while he’s pining away in unrequited love for her. She can’t see past her memories of him and he’s now ready to take a shot if only the proper moment comes along.

One of the many steps we take as we grow into an adult is consider how we fit into the culture in which we find ourselves. This is particularly the case when we move to another city, take on a new occupation and gather around us new friends and loved ones. When we’re faced with showing someone new where we come from, sometimes we slip back into our old life leaving our new acquaintance gobsmacked. It is as if they have been replaced by a not-to-bright alien.

George (Alessandro Nivola) has the demeanour of a cosmopolitan sophisticate and his new wife Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz), a chic art gallery owner from Chicago, is smitten. On a trip to corral a new artist who lives near George’s family, they stop by for a visit. Madeleine doesn’t know quite what to make of the George she sees and how he reacts to old family friends. From the gospel singing with his old church choir buddies to how he is greeted at a church supper, she is stunned by this man she hardly knows.

Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) is a sports agent working for a big agency who has a crisis of faith. As a result, he authors a mission statement for the sports management business and how he believes that it should operate. After circulating it to all staff, he’s applauded by his fellow employees who are touched by the honesty of the document but the owners want him fired. Jerry is clearing out his desk and calls upon others to join him but the only one to take up the banner is Dorothy Bird (Renée Zellweger). It’s easy to figure out how many can talk the talk but hesitate to walk the walk.

How many bad days can you have? Is it possible to be plain unlucky? Ashley Albright (Lindsay Lohan) seems to think so. After a string of unfortunate events, she ducks out of a store in the mistaken belief that things have changed. She swings her arms in delight and slams a fist into an innocent pedestrian taking him out with a somersault flip. As the homily goes, some days are better than others.

John Tucker (Jesse Metcalfe) has it all. He’s dating Carrie (Arielle Kebbe), Heather (Ashanti) and Beth (Sophia Bush) without the others knowledge. When the three find out that they are part of a foursome, rather than taking it out on John, they go after one another during a volleyball game as they lash out with a tossed ball to the head, a shoving match and a swat with a bag of balls. All too soon they figure out who should be really punished.

Notwithstanding the lunacy of punishing themselves rather than the titular perpetrator, the best part of the movie is the classy comedic elegance of Jenny McCarthy in the role of Lori Spencer.
