National Lampoon's Barely Legal

Last updated

National Lampoon's Barely Legal is a 2003 American comedy film centered on three male high school students who attempt to produce and sell pornographic videos to gain popularity and romantic success. The film was also released under the title After School Special.

Plot

Three high school friends, Matt, Fred, and Deacon, are consumed by sexual frustration. Tired of just fantasizing and spying, they hatch a plan to make a pornographic film, hoping it will bring them girls, cash, and popularity. Fred swipes credit card info from one of his dad's patients, and pretending to be adults, they buy web hosting for a site they call "After School Special," marketed as being made by virgins for virgins. Posing as Hawaiian tourists in Cleveland, they hire local strippers to act in it.

Their popular classmate Jake, who lives next door to Deacon, finds out and blackmails his way into the cast. But Jake can't perform when the camera rolls. The female lead, Ashley, tries to help with a quick handjob, but Jake finishes too early, gets angry, and takes the footage. He's later replaced by an older student named Coop.

Meanwhile, Deacon works up the nerve to talk to the popular Naomi at a party. At another party, Jake, who Naomi just dumped, tries to embarrass Deacon in front of her, but it backfires and brings Naomi closer to him. A fire breaks out during filming, forcing everyone, including a topless Ashley, to run from Deacon's basement straight into the kitchen where his family is. Deacon blurts out that Ashley is his girlfriend, and she surprisingly agrees to stay for dinner.

Then Naomi shows up and announces she's Deacon's girlfriend. She leaves when she meets his "other girlfriend," but Deacon comes clean. Naomi asks to join the crew as a consultant on the female perspective. She suggests dressing the nerdy Coop in nicer clothes and making him a foreign exchange student.

This idea splits the group, and Ashley walks out. Naomi takes Deacon shopping for better clothes and tells him he doesn't need "those boys" anymore. Still, Deacon apologizes to Matt and Fred. They think about quitting, but Ashley insists she needs the film for her acting reel and talks them into finishing it.
