''Dear Lemon Lima'' is a 2009 family comedy about a girl who attempts to [[ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight screw with the system]] after being awarded a scholarship to an exclusive private school in Alaska based on [[MistakenNationality widely stretched racial interpretations]]. Helping to motivate her are her lingering feelings for her ex-boyfriend-turned-rival team captain for the school's big annual physical competition and the treatment she sees of students exiled to the "Weight Room," a bunch of [[BreakfastClub miserable loners]] who have trouble fitting in whether at school or at home. Rather than whip them into shape, she attempts to show the school that they're a collection of plucky [[CoolLoser Cool Losers]] capable of winning on [[AnAesop without having to change who they are]].
