    • Synopsis
    • Adventures in Public School is a whimsical, coming-of-age film masked as a teenaged romantic comedy. Sixteen years old and homeschooled his entire life, Liam (Daniel Doheny) is a sheltered, socially awkward genius whose whole universe revolves around his single mom, Claire (Judy Greer). When early acceptance to Cambridge University collides with love at first sight, Liam deliberately bombs his final exams and forces his way into public school so he can let loose for the first time before heading overseas to become the world’s (second) best astronomer. Arriving at public school under the borrowed identity of a sick student, Maria Sanchez (Eva Day), Liam sets his sights on Anastasia (Siobhan Williams), a confident and popular one-legged girl – and pretty much the only person who notices him. Disaster strikes after Liam, realizing Anastasia’s interest was only imagined, tries to sabotage her relationship with a jock, BDC (Andrew Herr). Claire only makes things worse by trying to coach her son through his teenage rebellion. After Liam cuts the apron strings, he scores the affection of an older woman (Grace Park) at a wild college party. Buoyed by the victory, Liam relaxes into his own skin and takes his first steps towards manhood. Goodbye mom...hello cruel world.

      As her beloved son navigates a new and unfamiliar world of sex, drugs and social studies, and struggles to impress a girl who doesn’t even know he exists, his mom/best friend decides it’s time to teach him the ropes of teenage rebellion.
