General Education is a 2012 comedy film, directed by Tom Morris, starring Chris Sheffield, Maiara Walsh, Elaine Hendrix, Bobby Campo, Janeane Garofalo and Larry Miller and produced by Pelican House Productions.

[1] Levi Collins, (Chris Sheffield), a high school senior, has been forced all his life by his father Rich, (Larry Miller), to play tennis due to a strong devotion to a family tradition.

Levi then enrolls himself in a 10-day summer school program taught by his science teacher, and in doing so, has to cancel his trip to Mexico with his friends (Sean Przano & Harvey Guillén).

His friend Shady Nick, (Seth Cassel), after showing him a video online, convinces Levi to create a project around turning his Mercedes into an alternative fuel car, which runs on vegetable oil.

But after being forced by his father to practice for the upcoming Chico Open match against Samuel, Levi misses another day of school and is dropped from the class.

[3] Slant Magazine's Nick Schager only gave the film half a star, stating it is "too derivative to be amusing and too earnest to be parodic" and that the script has a "flatness that turns every plot point into a lesson in illogicality".
