Summer Jobs

They are rites of passage. Everyone's had at least one. Entrees into the worlds of 9 to 5, customer relations, and learning experiences. But for Gail, Fred, Reggie, and Les, summer jobs mean one thing: money. Money to free them from the ignominy of having to take the bus to high school. By pooling their money, they can buy a car and, above all else, land that coveted, primo parking space that's the envy of everyone at school.

But what would be the perfect summer job? Restaurants, retail, fast food? Or, heaven forbid, babysitting or mowing lawns. All have been tried by someone in their class. And all with hilarious results. No, our four compadres want real jobs. Jobs that will pay real money.

So the first step is the school's job fair. And whatever the potential employers expected, boy are they surprised by the motley collection of students that appear before them.

But our foursome is successful. Each lands a summer job. Fred at a construction company. Reggie, the beach. Les, a supermarket. And Gail at a gas station of all places. Several comic escapades for each, but nobody fired...yet.

And then disaster strikes. For Les, it's the damage from a runaway shopping cart. Reggie, a dump truck that gets dumped along with the trash. Fred loses his wheels and the company's mobile pooper scooper. And Gail? Well, she fills a customer's trunk with gas.

Can their summer's quest for cash be salvaged? Of course (it's a movie, remember?). All they have to do is switch jobs. Reggie to the market. Gail the construction site. Fred heads to the gas station and Les to the beach. Now, everybody loves them. If only their cash hadn't gone to repair the prior damage.

In the end, with some help from a mysterious stranger and a teacher, they...well, you'll have to see.
