It's become the latest TV reality show craze! In "American Idle," contestants vie for the honor of becoming America's number-one high school slacker. Host Brian Seacrest takes us through rounds of hilarious auditions, mind-bending challenges, and brutal eliminations. along the way, contestants compete to impress three judges with their supreme slacker skills-an inarticulate school janitor; a nasty, condescending guidance counselor; and a spacey Drama teacher. But in the end, the biggest slackers of all may be the TV viewers themselves, who have become too lazy to vote for a winner! This hystErical spoof has a flexible cast and simple staging.

Laura has carefully plotted a day off school in order to find out the meaning of life. Playing hooky, along with her ditzy best friend, she has concocted a foolproof plan to get to the bottom of things. Chaos ensues when her attempts to leave the house are foiled by a lazy cable guy, a rapper who's come to install high-speed internet, a disapproving Mary Kay consultant, a devious Girl Scout selling cookies, and an insecure Fedex driver. It seems all is lost until Laura's older brother arrives with a man claiming to be Leonardo Da Vinci. He, too, knows the secret . . . but can he trust the wacky group of strangers to keep it quiet?

Synopsis:
Flipping through a yearbook can be a terrifying experience, especially if you regret everything you ever did. Kristi and Doug take a hilarious (and sometimes bittersweet) walk down memory lane as they flip the pages and imagine how their classmates turned out. It's all fun and games until they take a look at their own lives. . .and realize what they missed out on.
