This was Franco's first appearance in a feature film with a wide release. His role fell strictly into the support category, but at least he was in good company (Jessica Alba, Leelee Sobieski and Marley Shelton all attend the same high-school).

Drew Barrymore stars as a reporter who goes undercover at a high-school for a story. Franco pretty much smoulders in the background as best friend of school hunk Gus is this impossible-to-hate teen-com.

Arty Franco? Sadly it was probably his good looks that nabbed him this role.
