School for Scoundrels

Roger Waddell, a downtrodden meter reader, enrolls in a confidence-building class to win the affection of Amanda, a foreign graduate student. The class is led by the egomaniacal Dr. P, who also seeks Amanda's attention, sparking a fierce rivalry between the two. As Roger navigates the course, he develops a sense of personal pride and uses the tactics he learns to woo Amanda, but Dr. P's manipulative methods soon cause Roger to lose his footing, leading to a series of escalating pranks and insults.
