POOL PARTY – When the humiliating pranking of an overweight loser during a high school pep rally goes viral, he decides to face his insecurities and his bullies in 3 months at the annual summer pool party hosted by the most popular girl in school.

The logline is just to hook you into asking such questions.? explaining everything in detail would turn the logline into a synopsis.
the antagonists are the school bullies, his external problem is his lack of self esteem and insecurities about being fat and terrible at sports in high school.
and the aggravating external cause of his insecurity are many:? His parents are fat and out of shape., His parents don’t provide any positive reinforcement, he is bullied at school for being fat and having bad skin and not wearing cool clothes.

Perhaps there’s an old woman (spin on the Old man as Mentor) he befriends who helps him turn his thinking around and get in shape in 90 days?where he then?shows up to the pool party looking and feeling great?and instead of starting a fight with the bullies he kills them with kindness and charms the whole party.? Maybe something goes down at the party that gives him legendary status in the town forever.? hmmm I like it.

I think it’s best we are lead to believe that in the film his greatest antagonist is the leader of the bullies. ?But as the protagonist changes in the story he realizes his fatal flaw is his inability to take a chance (for fear of failiure). ?So what we realize is that HE is his own biggest antagonist, and in actuality the bullies provided him with the opportunity to look inside himself. ?He matures more throughout the film and realizes he can’t live in a shell he has to take chances and that’s part of life. ?and perhaps in the end he actually befriends the bullies and they also change. because in high school pretty much everyone is dealing with their own growing pains in weird ways.
