The film starts with high school valedictorian Denis Cooverman (Paul Rust) stating to the entire gymnasium that he’s had a crush on cheerleader Beth Cooper (Hayden Panettiere) for six years. During the speech, he singles out the class bully and a pretty but shallow party girl, takes a verbal swipe at Beth’s boyfriend Kevin and tells his movie-quoting best friend Rich (Jack Carpenter) to admit that he’s gay. Denis’ speech upsets everyone except Beth, who thinks it was “sweet,” giving Denis the courage to invite her to a party at his house that night. Beth’s boyfriend, military trained Kevin (Shawn Roberts), is angry at Denis for calling him an “over-aged loser who keeps company with high school girls because he can’t get a date with a girl his own age.”

Max then has an altercation with a beautiful woman (Tamara Feldman) and her jealous boyfriend in the hotel corridor, where he is knocked-out and his mysterious phone is apparently scanned.

We were both young, when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I’m standing there, on a balcony of summer air.
I see the lights; see the party, the ball gowns.
I see you make your way through the crowd

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said “stay away from Juliet”
And I was crying on the staircase
begging you please don’t go…
And I said…

I’ve had a little bit too much
All of the people start to rush.
Start to rush by.
A dizzy twister dance
Can’t find my drink or man.
Where are my keys, I lost my phone.
What’s going on on the floor?
I love this record baby, but I can’t see straight anymore.
Keep it cool what’s the name of this club?
I can’t remember but it’s alright, alright.
