PLOT:
Ian Lafferty (Josh Zuckerman) is an 18-year-old recent high school graduate. He searches for a girl online making it look as if he's buff and suave, although he's sweet and unassuming. He soon meets "Ms. Tasty" (Katrina Bowden) and agrees to meet her in person. She lives in Knoxville, while he lives in Brookfield.
With his best friends Lance (Clark Duke) and Felicia (Amanda Crew), they go in a Pontiac GTO Judge borrowed without permission from Ian's arrogant homophobic older brother Rex (James Marsden).
On the way to Knoxville, they come across a hitchhiker (David Koechner), as the radiator in the Judge overheats. They attempt urinating in the radiator, which only works briefly as they try to leave the hitchhiker in the dust.
The hitchhiker, frustrated at Ian's lack of concern for his well being, leaves. As Ian and Felicia wander to find help, Lance is waiting with the car as Ezekiel (Seth Green) happens by in his horse-drawn buggy.
Ezekiel and his Amish buddies repair the car while they join a Rumspringa party where Fall Out Boy is playing a concert and at which Lance meets an attractive Amish girl, Mary (Alice Greczyn). The three promise to come again on the way back to do some work in return.
They go to jail due to Ian throwing a tire iron into a state trooper car (due to his increasing frustration at trying to put a possum he hit out its misery), and are released after Mary pays the bail. They find a hotel that sports a wide variety of role playing rooms.
Rex arrives angrily and insists that they go back and that Ian cannot visit Ms. Tasty. After Ian pretends to be gay, Rex allows him to see Ms. Tasty, hoping this encounter will change Ian's mind. Ian finally meets Ms. Tasty, However, when he tells her about Felicia, her seduction for Ian to take off his clothes becomes a threat as her psychotic boyfriend Bobby Jo (Dave Sheridan) puts a gun to Ian's head.
It becomes apparent that the couple work at a chop shop and attempts to rob Rex's Pontiac GTO.
During the comic confrontation, Ian manages to save Felicia, who then is able to run off and report to the police. Ms. Tasty tries to escape, but is stopped by Andy and Randy, two students from Ian's high school she failed to manipulate.
Bobby Jo, on the other hand, is treated after being shot by Ian in self defense. Felicia tells the police about the chop shop location and the couple is arrested.
In the end, Lance refuses to come back home, decides he prefers Amish life, and stays behind to marry Mary, while Ian and Felicia realize their love for each other.
On New Year's Eve Ian gives his virginity to Felicia. It is also revealed Rex's homophobia stemmed from the fact that he was hiding his own homosexuality.
In the final frame of the film, a picture is shown of Lance and Mary being married, accompanied by Ian and Felicia.
He's shown sporting a beard much like Ezekiel. A clip of Ezekiel and Fall Out Boy arguing over the fact that the Amish fixed Fall Out Boy's tour bus for just "a five song set" in form of compensation serves as a running gag during the credits of the film.
BIOGRAPHY OF CHARLIE MCDERMOTT:
Charlie McDermott was born on April 6, 1990 in West Chester, Pennsylvania. At an early age Charlie began making films.
Charlie covered all aspects of movie making, directing, editing, even scouting possible filming location by having his parents drive him around town. Once his camera rolled...he began developing his craft as an actor.
In school many of his teachers would allow Charlie to submit a film on a given topic in place of his book report, religion or history project.
In 2003, Charlie landed his first movie part in the M. Night Shyamalan film "The Village" playing the role of "10 Year-Old Boy" who delivers the message to William Hurt that the creatures are in the village.
Charlie attended the open casting call out of an interest to observe fellow Philadelphia area resident M. Night Shyamalan at work with a hope that he would somehow be chosen to be an extra in the movie.
Little did Charlie dream that he would actually get to work with the director! With encouragement from M. Night and other actors on the set, Charlie began the pursuit of his acting career.
Over the next year Charlie would film a number of commercials and land a part in the New England Emmy Award Winning PBS television comedy series, "Windy Acres". It was during the filming of Windy Acres that the director Jay Craven mentioned to Charlie a film project he was developing titled, "Disappearances".
With no real assurance that Charlie would even get an audition, he began immersing himself in the role of Disappearances' main character, "Wild Bill Bonhomme", a 14 year-old boy who lives on a farm and helps his father, Quebec Bill, (Played by Kris Kristofferson.), run whiskey across the border in 1932.
For the next eight months, Charlie would put himself through an intensive physical training program, rising before school hours to swim and lift weights.
In an effort to better understand the world in 1932, Charlie began chopping up firewood with an ax around his house, he worked on a farm and eliminated many of today's modern conveniences like television, video games and I-Pod from his daily life.
Charlie even convinced his parents to blindfold and abandon him at night in the woods so that he could better explore the emotion of fear and terror.
After a series of auditions, (Click here to read an article about the casting of Wild Bill.) in New York, a screen test in Vermont and a final audition in L.A., the pool of 130 actors auditioning for “Wild Bill” was filtered down to one. With only 1-1/2 weeks before the start of production for “Disappearances”, Charlie was selected to play Wild Bill.
At age 16, Charlie moved to Los Angeles, CA to explore acting opportunities. The move seems to have paid off. Since arriving in LA, Charlie has booked numberous roles in film (Frozen River & Sex Drive) and television (The Office, Medium, Hallmark Films Generation Gap and Salf Harbor and the ABC Pilot Captain Cook's Extraordinary Atlas).
Critical praise for his role of T.J. in "Frozen River" has come from Variety, Roger Ebert, LA Weekly and Hollywood.com to name a few. Charlie was listed on Roger Ebert's top ten 2008 child actor performances list.
And in late 2008, Charlie received a nomination for an Independent's Film Spirit Award - Best Supporting Actor.
