A laid-back high school coach (Mark Harmon) reluctantly forfeits a Hawaiian vacation to teach remedial English to a class of likable misfits. This goofy comedy tells the sweetly inspiring story of the group of high school slackers who seem destined to fail until they land in the coach`s class. As both students and teacher accept the fact that they must complete the course, all learn a great deal about themselves, their priorities, and friendship.
