After being homeschooled his whole life, wannabe physicist Liam (2017 TIFF Rising Star Daniel Doheny)”drops out” and enrolls in public school to chase the girl of his dreams, in this hilarious and heartwarming comedy from Kyle Rideout (Eadweard). Home schooling and overprotective parents are given a hilarious, yet generous, going over in Kyle Rideout’s disarming high-school comedy. Educated in his garage by Claire (Judy Greer; Ant-Man, Archer), his fiercely enthusiastic mother, Liam is the quintessential über-nerd, a wannabe physicist who idolizes Stephen Hawking and is about to take his equivalency exam and head off to Cambridge. – TIFF
