Paul Tannek is a nerdy, good-natured college student adrift in New York on a scholarship. His pot-smoking,
girl-chasing roommates hate him, everyone else on campus
pushes him around or ignores him and Dora Diamond, the girl of his dreams, turns out to have eyes only for
their English Lit professor. Things appear pretty bleak until the college billets him in a local veterinary hospital. Then Paul suddenly finds himself with something
everyone else wants: a place to party; an address that will
allow Dora to access Financial Aid; and the realization that his knowledge of the professor’s affair with Dora could buy him an
“A” if he plays his cards right.

Editor's Note
Amy Heckerling (CLUELESS, FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH) directs this romantic comedy starring Jason Biggs as Paul Tannek, a nerdy college freshman with a heart of gold, and Mena Suvari as Dora Diamond, the girl of his dreams. Small-town boy Paul goes to the big city to attend college with high hopes of fitting in and making friends. But from the start, he's fighting an uphill battle. His dorky hat and earnest mannerisms drive his cosmopolitan, ultra-hip roommates crazy, and he finds himself labeled a loser, kicked out of their dorm suite, and living in a room in a veterinary hospital. Meanwhile, Paul falls for Dora, a quirky free spirit who is having a clandestine affair with their professor, Edward Alcott (Greg Kinnear). Despite his feelings for her, Paul does his best to protect Dora from the fact that Alcott doesn't care about her nearly as much as she thinks he does. LOSER also includes brief cameo appearances by Dan Akroyd, David Spade, Andy Dick, Steven Wright, Andrea Martin, Colleen Camp, and Taylor Negron.
