Whatever It Takes (DVD, 2000, Closed Captioned)

Loosely based on CYRANO DE BERGERAC WHATEVER IT TAKES is a charming romantic comedy set in modern day high school. The film tells the tale of an uncool teenager Ryan (Shane West) and a popular jock Chris (James Franco) who team up to win the hearts of their dream girls (Marla Sokoloff and Jodi Lyn O'Keefe). Along the way an endless barrage of comic situations adds flavor to the proceedings.
