Cool Loser TRS cleanup
, has been renamed to Unconvincingly Unpopular Character and is a YMMV audience reaction.

Walter "Gib" Gibson (Cusack) is just an 18-year-old CoolLoser at some snowy New England college, trying to get laid and trolling on Allison (Zuniga), the BrainyBrunette in his English class. It's not going well. Then Lance (Creator/AnthonyEdwards), his best friend from high school who's now going to college in UsefulNotes/LosAngeles, sends him a picture of a hot blonde (Creator/NicolletteSheridan), with the assurance that she's [[ReallyGetsAround "a sure thing."]] If Gib can make it out to L.A. for winter break before [[NoNameGiven "the sure thing"]] goes off for a semester at sea, he can totally bag that. Gib goes along on a rideshare, only it turns out that Allison's going to L.A. to visit her boyfriend too...

None
* CharacterDevelopment: Happens to both Allison and Gib on their road trip together - she learns to be less uptight and more spontaneous (while realizing Jason, her boyfriend, is rather dull - see [[DisposableFiance Disposable Boyfriend]] below), while he learns he may just be looking for romance rather than just sex. They also start to realize they may be right for each other.
* LastMinuteBabyNaming: Played with in the PillowPregnancy sequence; when asked what they'll name the baby, obviously neither Alison nor Gib has given it an instant's thought. Alison is thinking Cynthia or Elliot. Gib seems OK with the former, but vehemently disagrees with the latter, believing "Elliot is a fat kid with glasses who eats paste." Gib much prefers Nick, who, after all, is "the kind of guy who doesn't mind if you puke in his car." This leads to the ''Not In Front of the Lady'' moment below.

* TheMovieBuff: A variation - Gary and Mary Ann are into showtunes, singing "[[Theatre/{{Hair}} The Age of Aquarius]]" and "Button Up Your Overcoat" when they first pick up Gib and Allison, at least until Gary becomes grumpy because Allison and Gib refuse to join in singing.

* RuleOfPool: While Allison is swimming laps, Gib comes in, asking her to tutor him in English. As she ignores him, Gib's pleading becomes increasingly frenzied, until he finally falls (on purpose) into the pool. Allison looks at him briefly, and then swims around him.

* HypocriticalHumor: After Gib tells Allison he thinks the {{Mooning}} they just saw (see below) was hilarious because it was spontaneous, she replies, "Spontaneity has it's time and place."
