I'm looking for an indie film I saw a couple years ago on Sky. It was set in an American boarding school, with a main character who was a brilliant mathematician with a gigantic afro who had skipped a couple grades to get into college early. The main drive of the film was him making friends with his frat boy roommate. The mathlete scenes were intentionally goofy, with ridiculously complicated problems being solved really quickly. There's a scene set in the school library where the kid with the afro hits on/is hit on by another mathlete girl.
Any help you could give me would be appreciated, this is driving me mad.
