"爱情是盲目的"，没人比雷恩（尚恩卫斯特）更了解这句话的真意；雷恩爱上了全校最辣的金发美女艾希莉，却看不到其实真爱就在身边…或者该说就在隔壁-- 他的死党兼邻居玛姬身上；雷恩的表哥兼足球校队明星克里斯（詹姆斯法兰柯）看上了聪慧美丽的玛姬，因而向他提出交换条件，只要雷恩帮他追求玛姬，他愿意帮雷恩追求艾希莉；为了得到梦中情人的青睐，雷恩一口答应帮徒具外表的草包表哥追求玛姬，但雷恩不知道的是，克里斯并非真心喜欢玛姬，而仅是将她视为另一个猎艳的目标；如今毕业舞会在即，这场校园版"大鼻子情圣"将会如何收场呢？Ryan (Shane West) is a bit of a geek with eyes for the school sex bomb, Ashley (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe), which induces cringing in his neighbor and best friend, Maggie (Marla Sokoloff), a cute intellectual girl. But popular jock Chris (James Franco) has his eye on Maggie, and he offers to help Ryan win Ashley if Ryan will help Chris with Maggie. So begins a two-headed variation on Cyrano de Bergerac; Ryan composes soulful e-mails for Chris, and Chris advises Ryan to treat Ashley like dirt, which seems to be the only way to get her attention. At first, neither finds it easy to change their ways; Chris comes on too strong, and Ryan is too nervous to be a jerk. But as they start to succeed, Ryan begins to see Maggie in a new light and wonders if he's pursuing the right girl. He realizes Ashley is not meant for him, and tries to convince Maggie about Chris's affection for her. Maggie is reluctant to take him "back" at first, but then realizes Ryan has a change of heart.
