Slow Learners
Slow Learners (released in the UK as Awkward Sexy People) is a 2015 romantic comedy film about two terminally uncool high school co-workers, Jeff and Anne. Tired of being romantically unsuccessful, they embark on a wild, alcohol-fuelled summer to reinvent themselves as confident partygoers, only to lose their dignity and almost each other in the process.
- Directed by Don Argott and Sheena M. Joyce. Written by Heather Maidat and Peter C. Swords.
