The Disney Channel bores me. It doesn't have that lovely flare that it once held for me two years ago when I was 11. Of course, there were always a few that caught my attention, such as, The Thirteenth Year, Smart House, Buffalo Dreams and others that were mildly entertaining.
This was cleverly acted out and Emmy Rossum and Trevor Morgan seem to have a chemistry that makes them both very entertaining. Trevor did a great job, as the young middle schooler who wanted to make friends, but his smarts prevented him. (I mean, he was a physics teacher, teaching college students!!!)
He meets the girl of his dreams and then chaos erupts later on, when his secret is revealed.
