Rules aren't for everyone.
Directed by Steve Carr
Produced by Lionsgate, CBS Films
A lighthearted, visually playful family comedy about a creative misfit and his best friend rebelling against school authority through rule-breaking pranks.
A quiet teenage artist Rafe Katchadorian has a wild imagination and is sick of middle school and the rules that have been put before him. Rafe and his best friend Leo have come up with a plan: break every rule in the school hand book and as you expect trouble follows.
