You see that goofy grin a thousand times and just laugh. But goofy grin #1,001 nearly stops your heart?Right. That sounds like a bad movie already.Matt Wainwright is constantly sabotaged by the overdramatic movie director in his head. He can? tell his best friend, Tabby, how he really feels about her, he implodes on the JV basketball team, and the only place he feels normal is in Mr. Ellis? English class.
