The film stars Ryan Nelson Boggus, Jennifer Coolidge, Heather Matarazzo (who also acts as producer), Leslie Jordan, and John Waters.

Mangus auditions with other boys, including a talented and flamboyant classmate, Farrell Williamson, who is the mayor's son.

Mangus lands the role, but that night, when he goes out in a limo with his friends, Timmy and Kimmy, there is a terrible car accident.

Jessica Simpson reveals to Mangus that she is a lesbian and meets Bobbie, a black woman who sells ice-cream from a truck.

Although Mangus and Jessica are out of money, they find a Greyhound employee who takes pity on them and they manage to return home.

When Mangus returns to school, Bruce tells him that since they didn't know he was coming back, they had offered the part to Harry.
