Rent The Center of Everything

Synopsis

Evelyn Bucknow is highly intelligent, not pretty, and determined not to sink into the sea of loserhood that her relatives swim in. IIt's the 1980s, and her grandfather is a bigot, her grandmother is a mindless Reaganite, her single mother gets pregnant by her boss and produces a retarded child, and the boy Evelyn loves falls for her prettier best friend. But Evelyn doesn't let it get to her. She pulls herself together, wins the school science prize, and shows every indication that she will go on to even more stellar achievements.
