The Bet (2016 film)

The Bet is a 2016 American comedy film directed by Ryan Ederer and written by Chris Jay and Aaron Goldberg.

A loser in life and love, Denton Baker gets into a high stakes bet where he has one summer to find, and hook up with, every girl he had a crush on from 1st to 12th grade.

With the help of his well meaning but overzealous best friends, Jackson Price, Ed McDoogle and Wiggins, Denton sets out to win the bet, which becomes even more difficult when he falls in love with his 2nd grade crush, Amanda Morrison.

A lifelong wrestling fan, Jay personally sought out and met with Roddy Piper, whose involvement ultimately led to Dallas Page and Jake Roberts joining the film.
