John and his girlfriend have vowed to marry once they save $30,000 for their dream house. But the minute they achieve their financial goal, John finds out his niece has been accepted at Harvard, and he's reminded of his promise to pay for her tuition (nearly $30,000). John's friend Duff convinces him to turn to petty crime to make the payment … but Duff's hare-brained schemes spin quickly out of control.

I love Jason Lee but this story just wasn’t that interesting. What made it somewhat worth while for me was Tom Greens absurdity. It’s exactly what something like this needed to make it tolerable
