DESCRIPTION:
(from VH1's press release) Narrator Ben Stein reveals that "Totally Awesome" was made back in the 80's in the wake of other successful films, but never released. Now for the first time, this potential masterpiece will be shown. On the first day at his new school, Charlie (Mikey Day) is identified by the school's "coolness rankings" as the least popular guy in the senior class. He is befriended by the senior class's least popular girl, Billie (Nicki Clyne), but falls for Kimberly (Brittany Daniel), the most popular girl in school. Thinking his only chance to win Kimberly is to one-up her jock boyfriend, Kipp, Charlie decides to enter the school Decathlon and begins training with his elderly Japanese gardener Yamagashi (James Hong). Meanwhile, Charlie's sister Lori (Dominique Swain) is dismayed to discover that dancing has been banned in her new town. She meets Gabriel (Chris Kattan), the school janitor and former dance instructor, who invites her to attend secret group dance lessons at his house/garage. After just a few dances, she's in love with Gabriel and helps him come up with a plan to bring dancing back to the school. Whether you were preppy or new wave, this movie will be awesome ... TOTALLY AWESOME.
