Overview: In Riverside Heights, sturdy and unpretentious Mike Underwood (Joe Straface) enters a high-stakes $2,000 wager with the local bully, Randy (Lee Barringer).

The challenge: Mike must convince Diane (Stacy Christensen) - a beautiful young woman known as Snow White for her pure reputation - to spend a weekend at the mountain resort Paradise Bungalows.

Blu-ray Verdict: Mike’s initial schemes are comedic disasters. He first poses as a milkman, but a chocolate milk carton explodes, soaking Diane and her home in a sticky mess. Encouraged by his friend Charles (J.T. Wotton), Mike then adopts a 007 persona. He follows Diane to Kilarney Pool, where he nearly drowns trying to fake swimming skills, only to be rescued by Diane herself. Moved by his vulnerability, Diane agrees to an ice cream date, where they begin to form a real connection.

As Mike navigates Diane’s overbearing mother, Marion (Bev Wotton), and her mother’s plans for her to marry a boring accountant, he invites Diane to the bungalows with a promise of separate rooms. At the resort, the two bond over a terrifying and hilarious encounter with two bears outside their cabin. Mike’s bravery--and his accidental activation of a noisy alarm clock--scares the bears away and solidifies Diane’s feelings for him.

The romance shatters upon their return when Diane’s friend Judy (Anna Lisa Iapaolo) reveals the truth about the $2,000 bet. Devastated and humiliated, Diane leaves Mike. To redeem himself and clear Diane’s name, Mike challenges Randy to a deadly game of chicken at an old airport. Mike refuses to swerve, winning the game and forcing Randy to publicly apologize to the girls. Having won back Diane’s heart through genuine courage rather than a scheme, Mike ends the story by playfully introducing himself to her mother as Luke Skywalker.

Also known as The Virgin Queen of St. Francis High, this is a genuine film and the arc the main character took through the movie was realistic and endearing. Indeed, all the actors did a wonderful job in keeping the film lively with their performances. Kudos to the director for taking the chance to portray a teen comedy that has some intelligence to it.
