A guy is forced to do a lot of stupid stuff to protect the girl of his dreams in this teen comedy. Zach Harper (
Milo Ventimiglia) is a senior at a high school with a strange tradition in which upcoming graduates are challenged to perform a series of pranks known as "the Dirty Deeds" if they want to avoid a humiliating encounter with the football team. In Zach's case, Dan Lawton (Matthew Carey) is a jock who has always had it in for him and has made it clear that if Zach can't complete the "Dirty Deeds," he won't be the only one in trouble -- he'll also go after Meg (
Lacey Chabert), the girl Zach's sweet on, as well as Meg's little brother. Dirty Deeds also stars
Charles Durning, Tom Amandes, and
Mark Derwin. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
