DARE

Trailer

In high school, what kind of person did you dare to be: risk-taking and lustful, melancholy and confused or simply safe and over-achieving? Dare follows three very different teenagers through the last semester of high school. They are Alexa (Emmy Rossum, The Phantom of the Opera), the overachieving good girl who longs to break out of her shell; Ben (Ashley Springer, Teeth), the melancholy outsider confused about his sexuality; and Johnny (Zach Gilford, Friday Night Lights), the rich kid who has everything, including good looks, but hides behind his bad boy persona. This unlikely trio fall into each other's lives and each other's arms, making a last-ditch effort to shake things up before they actually have to start living as adults. Also starring Rooney Mara (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), Alan Cumming (The Good Wife) and Ana Gasteyer (Saturday Night Live). (2009)
