Description
Siri is a legacy admission, rich and spoiled and destined to flunk out of her freshman year at college.
Esther, her roommate, is a scholarship student from humble means, brilliant and driven to succeed.
Brought together by chance, the girls soon become partners in a struggle to find their way in a world where neither Siri's beauty nor Esther's brain is enough.
Never having been forced to work hard at anything, Siri must rely on Esther to teach her to learn and attend class.
But as Siri wakes from her dream world to discover the life of the mind, Esther begins shedding her rational bonds to explore the mysteries of the soul.
For both, some of the most devastating lessons in the attainment of worldly knowledge come from love.
Deadpan funny and bittersweet, ""A Bad and Stupid Girl"" is above all else a moving portrait of two friends helping each other to uncover the potential splendor of their lives.
