Art School Confidential (2006)



Jacket: "Art School Confidential follows talented young artist Jerome Platz as he escapes from high school to the tiny East Coast art school. Here the boyish freshman's ambition is to become the world's greatest artist like his hero Picasso. Unfortunately, the beauty and craft of Jerome's portraiture are not appreciated in an anything-goes art class. Neither his harsh judgements of his classmates' efforts nor his later attempts to create pseudo-art of his own win him any admirers. But Jerome does attract the attentions of his dream girl, the stunning and sophisticated Audrey, an artists' model and daughter of a celebrated artist. Rejecting the affectations of the local art scene, Audrey is drawn to Jerome's sincerity. When Audrey shifts her attention to Jonah, a hunky painter who becomes the school's latest art star, Jerome is heartbroken. Desperate, he concocts a risky plan to make a name for himself and win her back."

This is hilarious and completely reminds me of most of the art students with whom I went to school.
