Bart Got A Room

Bart Got A Room is the story of a semi- nerdy kid named Danny, who live in Miami with his newly divorced mom. It’s his senior year in high school and Danny is obsessed with getting ‘the right girl’ for the prom to take the perfect picture with and have the perfect memory of. So what’s up with Bart you ask? Bart happens to be the nerdiest kid in the senior class. The sentiment is that if Bart got a room, and you didn’t you then take is place as class loser. His best friend is a quirky freckle faced girl named Camille, who really wants to go to prom with Danny. Camille makes her desire known in a graduation card, and also tells her family that she wants to go with him. He tells her he wants to take someone else. Danny has his eyes on the perky blond tease of a cheerleader Alice, that he car pools to and from school with. Alice is beyond flirtatious, actually downright seductive; so naturally Danny thinks he has a shot. When he asks Alice tells him he’s deranged for thinking she was ever attracted to him. With that knife in his gut, he has to find the ‘perfect girl’ for the picture. He goes to his overweight lover buddy Craig for help. Craig asks his girlfriend Abby to help out, and she calls in the sure thing supertramp Marcy to fit the bill. Danny is supposed to have a meet and greet with Marcy at a restaurant on evening, but Camille shows up with her family, and while talking to Camille outside, super hot Marcy comes and goes and he misses his chance with her too.

In the midst of all this Danny’s divorced parents are both frantically dating trying to find new mates. His mother searching for financial stability, with any potbellied guy that shows her attention. His father is desperately internet dating, dying his hair and lying about his age. Danny is merely a blip on both of their radars. Danny’s father is determined to be buddies with Danny, bestowing him with keys to his new bachelor pad ”just in case.” Danny finds this very awkward and a little creepy. As the clock to prom ticks on, Danny is still determined to have a ‘sure thing’ for prom. He has bamboozled his parents into renting him a room at the hotel where the prom is being held, and paying for the limo. He hears an erotic poem in English class one day written by a classmate and sees this as a green light to ask her out. She places so many restrictions on going with him that he decides to keep looking. Time runs out, and he figures he’ll surprise Camille after all and pick her up on prom night. He goes to his friend Craig to ask if they can stop by Camille’s on the way to prom to pick her up only to find that Craig’s girl Abbey is covered in sun blisters from tanning and can’t go; so Craig has asked Camille to prom in her place. Danny is livid, and panicked as it’s prom night and he has no date. Hilarity ensues when he enlists his father to help him at the last minute to get a date. You’ll have to watch to see if Danny finds his dream girl after all. A deadpan classic.
