Boasting a great ensemble cast — including Daniel Doheny, Siobhan Williams, Andrew McNee, Grace Park, Russell Peters and Judy Greer, in a tour-de-force performance, Kyle Rideout's Adventures in Public School is a disarmingly charming audience favourite. Educated by his fiercely enthusiastic mother, Claire (Greer), teenager Liam (Doheny) is the quintessential über-nerd, a wannabe physicist who is about to take his equivalency exam and head off to Cambridge. At the exam he spots Anastasia (Williams), an enigmatic beauty who lost a leg to cancer. Instantly smitten, he changes his answers, hoping to flunk and have to redo his final semester in public school. Then the crash course in high-school dynamics begins.
