Synopsis

Geeky Alvin Johnson (Nick Cannon) pays rich girl Paris Morgan (Christina Milian) to become his girlfriend so he can become popular. It works, and Alvin is transformed from a nerd to a popular kid. Part of the agreement said they'd break up after two weeks, which Al did at their school. This makes Paris mad because she feels it ruins her reputation. Eventually Al views himself as "unbreakable" and starts diminishing Paris's rep. Paris then "breaks" him by saying in front of the popular kids that he paid her to be his friend so he could be popular. Paris and Al eventually make up and make out as the film ends.
