2004 US (1st time)
A geek who lives with his grandma and his older, chatroom-addict brother, begins a campaign to make his new best friend Pedro student president.
Absurd, eccentric, obviously acquired sense of humour here, working much like a Wes Anderson film, in that it takes a little time to establish itself as something you've probably not experienced before, and then, once it gets rolling, proves to be something quite brilliant. Timing, originality and that climactic dance scene rank up there with the best.
