[edit] Synopsis
Nick Cannon who plays Alvin Johnson pays Paris Morgan (Christina Milian) to become his girlfriend so he can become popular. It works, and Alvin is transformed from a nerd to a popular kid. Part of the agreement said they'd break up after two weeks, which Al did at their school. This makes Paris mad because she feels it ruins her reputation. Eventually Al views himself as "Unbreakable" and starts diminishing Paris's rep. Paris then "Breaks" him by saying in front of the popular kids that he paid her to be his friend so he could be popular. Paris and Al eventually make up and make out and the movie ends.
[edit] Quotes
- Al's sister: "Urkel has gone gangsta"
- Paris: "There's a real catch. She's givin' out more rides than Grey Hound." Al: "Yeah, But I bet you it won't cost me $1500 for a ticket."
[edit] Trivia
- Christina Milian's character is named Paris Morgan. If she marries her boyfriend Dru Hilton and takes his last name, her name will become Paris Hilton.
- This film was originally rated R, but was edited to be released with a PG-13 rating. It would be another 3 years before Nick Cannon appeared in his first R-rated film, Bobby.
[edit] Mistakes
- In the scene where Paris and Al attend the basketball game, movie lighting, and the wires can be seen on the roof.
- When Al and his friends enter "The Forbidden Halway" a person knocks him to the ground and the mat is visible.
