The Undergrad (2003)
The Undergrad is a sexy, gender transgressive parody of the 1967 classic “The Graduate.” This playful celebration of gender and sexual liberation highlights the intersections of deviance, desire, love, and social acceptance. The film follows Ben, who is lost at the brink of adulthood and mystified by his growing desires as he finds himself creating a new life of secrecy, submission, confusion, and budding self-confidence.
