The Jerk Theory
Treating girls wrong never felt so right... Until he met her.
Directed by Scott S. Anderson
Produced by PolarStar Entertainment, Polarstar Pictures
A lighthearted romantic comedy about a jaded young man learning that genuine connection requires authenticity, built on charm and the promise of personal growth.
An aspiring recording artist, Adam, is burned by a bad relationship experience and decides that if women won't respond to the "nice guy" then he'll be "the jerk." This is wildly successful with meaningless relationships, but when Adam meets and falls for Molly, who doesn't fall for his jerk routine, Adam is forced to reconsider his dating philosophy.
