Plot summary This is a movie about upper middle class high school kids in Chicago in the year before they leave for college. In particular, its about Joel, a friendly and personable senior, and the adventures he gets into during the time his parents leave on vacation. As a typical, sexually frustrated senior with typical sexually frustrated friends, Joel gets into lots of trouble. The real problems start after Miles calls a prostitute, and tells her to come visit Joel at his parent's house. She is not exactly Joel's taste, but the idea sticks in his head, and Joel soon finds himself with his "dream date." Unfortunately, his dream girl is Lana, who steals his mother's very expensive glass egg. In his desperation to get it back, Joel ends up multiplying his problems. Among his biggest concerns is Guido, Lana's manager, who is furious at Joel for taking Lana away from him. After Joel accidentally drives his dad's very expensive car into Lake Michigan, he must quickly think of a way to pay for the repairs. Lana suggests that since she has lots of friends that are prostitutes, and he has lots of friends who would love to use their services, he should turn his parent's home into a house of prostitution for a single night. It's a very risky thing to do, especially since his extremely conservative parents will soon be returning. But Miles has taught Joel that once in a while, you just have to take risks in life, or as Miles would say, sometimes you just have to say "what the fuck..."
