==Plot==
Paul Tannek, a small-town, intelligent kid from the [[Midwestern United States|Midwest]], is accepted into [[New York University]] on an academic scholarship. Following the advice of his father, he tries to gain friends by being polite and interested in others. However, Paul’s new roommates—Chris, Adam, and Noah, three rich, spoiled, obnoxious city boys—brand Paul a loser because they resent Paul’s polite behavior, [[working class]] background, and determination for an education. After Paul is thrown out of the dorm when the trio concocts a false story to the housing administration about Paul’s attitude, Paul is forced to take up residence in a veterinary hospital. Banned from throwing parties in the dorm because of an [[alcohol poisoning]] incident, Chris manipulates Paul into letting him, Adam, and Noah use the hospital to throw parties.
Paul Tannek, a small-town, intelligent kid from the [[Midwestern United States|Midwest]], is accepted into [[New York University]] on scholarship. Following his father's advice, he tries to gain friends by being polite and interested in others. However, his new roommates—Chris, Adam, and Noah —brand him a loser due to his polite manner, [[working class]] background, and determination for education. The trio concocts a false story to the housing administration about Paul's attitude. As a result, he is thrown out of the dorm and forced to live in a veterinary hospital. Later, after being banned from throwing parties in the dorm, the trio convinces Paul to let them party at the hospital.

Paul is attracted to classmate Dora Diamond, unaware of her affair with English professor Edward Alcott. Dora had been working as a waitress in a strip club to pay tuition before she was fired. Dora asks Alcott if she can temporarily live with him to save on commuting time. Alcott declines her request.

Paul invites Dora to a concert of [[Everclear (band)|Everclear]], whom she was a fan of. The night of the date, Adam invites Dora to a party at the veterinary hospital where Paul stays. She accepts with the intention of leaving early. However, at the party, she is [[Date rape drug|roofied]] by two different people and passes out. After the concert, Paul returns to the hospital to find a huge mess and an unresponsive Dora.


Rushing her to the hospital, Paul learns Alcott is Dora's emergency contact, and he tells Chris the following day without thinking. Alcott denies knowing Dora when contacted by emergency officials. As she recovers, Dora and Paul start to develop feelings for one another, though he notices Dora is still infatuated with Alcott.
Paul meets classmate Dora Diamond and develops an attraction to her, unaware that she is having an affair with their decorated but highly pretentious English professor Edward Alcott. Dora is equally as intelligent as Paul, but doesn't have a scholarship and works shifts as a waitress in a strip club to pay for her tuition until she is unceremoniously fired. To avoid a long daily commute which she can no longer afford, Dora asks Alcott if she can temporarily live with him. Alcott selfishly declines her request for fear of losing his tenure at the university if his relationship with Dora is found out. After Paul and Dora bump into each other one night, Paul invites Dora to an [[Everclear (band)|Everclear]] concert when he learns she is a fan. Dora agrees to the date, but first goes to a job interview for a night shift in a convenience store, a position she is ultimately denied because she is a woman. Adam happens to be at the same store buying beer and invites Dora to a party which she accepts, but says she will be there only for a short time so she can meet Paul at the concert. At the party, one of the boys slips a [[Date rape drug|roofie]] into Dora's drink, causing her to pass out. Paul returns home dejected from the concert to a huge mess and an unresponsive Dora and immediately rushes her to the hospital. At the hospital, Paul pretends to be her boyfriend since neither he nor Dora can afford to keep her there overnight. He also learns that Dora listed Alcott as her case of emergency contact which he tells Chris the next morning without thinking. Alcott tells emergency officials he doesn't really know Dora when they contact him.


Paul bonds with Dora as she recovers and they start to develop feelings for one another; he also learns that Dora cannot see past her blind infatuation with Alcott, as she tells Paul that Alcott loves her but does not want a relationship. While Paul continues with his studies, Dora searches for a new job. She pulls Paul out of class and invites him out to celebrate receiving a spot in a medical experiment. They steal a loaf of bread from a bakery, coffee from a dispenser in the park, and sneak into a Broadway show. Paul goes out to grab a pizza and a movie for both of them hoping it may lead to something further between them only to return to find Alcott, who has changed his mind about Dora living with him. Alcott reveals to Dora that Chris, Noah, and Adam are now blackmailing him with the knowledge of their relationship in return for passing grades, and also tells her he believes Paul is in on the scheme. After discovering roofies were involved at the party, Paul steals Noah's supply and replaces them with placebos. Paul then pays a visit to Alcott's office to ask how Dora is doing and is instead given his final exam as a take-home test by Alcott to buy his silence. Paul takes the moral high ground and refuses the test, jeopardizing his scholarship and place in the university.

Dora overhears Paul on the phone with his father talking about how much he misses her. Alcott then admits he learned that Paul had nothing to do with the blackmail, but still intends to fail him. Dora then realizes that Paul is the one who really loves her and terminates her affair with Alcott, beginning a relationship with Paul. Afterward, Adam, Noah, and Chris' behavior get the better of them and their lives plummet into failure, while Alcott is found out and sent to prison for having an affair with a different student who is underage, and Paul and Dora remain happy in their relationship.

Loser is a 2000 American teen romantic comedy film written and directed by Amy Heckerling. Starring Jason Biggs, Mena Suvari and Greg Kinnear, it is about a fish-out-of-water college student (Biggs) who falls for a classmate (Suvari), unaware she is in a relationship with their English teacher (Kinnear). The film, Heckerling's first after 1995's Clueless and inspired by the 1960 film The Apartment, was a box-office failure and received negative reviews.

Plot

Paul Tannek, a small-town, intelligent kid from the Midwest, is accepted into New York University on scholarship. Following his father's advice, he tries to gain friends by being polite and interested in others. However, his new roommates—Chris, Adam, and Noah —brand him a loser due to his polite manner, working class background, and determination for education. The trio concocts a false story to the housing administration about Paul's attitude. As a result, he is thrown out of the dorm and forced to live in a veterinary hospital. Later, after being banned from throwing parties in the dorm, the trio convinces Paul to let them party at the hospital.

Paul is attracted to classmate Dora Diamond, unaware of her affair with English professor Edward Alcott. Dora had been working as a waitress in a strip club to pay tuition before she was fired. Dora asks Alcott if she can temporarily live with him to save on commuting time. Alcott declines her request.

Paul invites Dora to a concert of Everclear, whom she was a fan of. The night of the date, Adam invites Dora to a party at the veterinary hospital where Paul stays. She accepts with the intention of leaving early. However, at the party, she is roofied by two different people and passes out. After the concert, Paul returns to the hospital to find a huge mess and an unresponsive Dora.

Rushing her to the hospital, Paul learns Alcott is Dora's emergency contact, and he tells Chris the following day without thinking. Alcott denies knowing Dora when contacted by emergency officials. As she recovers, Dora and Paul start to develop feelings for one another, though he notices Dora is still infatuated with Alcott.

Dora finds a new job and celebrates with Paul, but their celebration is cut short by Alcott, who has changed his mind about Dora living with him. Alcott reveals that Chris, Noah, and Adam are blackmailing him for passing grades, and he believes Paul is in on the scheme. After discovering roofies were involved at the party, Paul steals Noah's supply and replaces them with placebos. Paul visits Alcott's office to inquire about Dora and is given his final exam as a take-home test. Paul turns down the offer, jeopardizing his scholarship.

Realizing Paul is the one who truly loves her, Dora terminates her affair with Alcott, beginning a relationship with Paul. Afterward, Adam, Noah, and Chris' behavior get the better of them, and their lives plummet into failure. At the same time, Alcott is found out and sent to prison for having an affair with an underage student, and Paul and Dora remain happy in their relationship.
