Plot[edit]
The film centers around Shane Dawson (played by Shane Dawson), a teenager who struggles with his weight and social issues, who is befriend by Amber (played by Gigi Gorgeous) at the beginning of the film because she thinks he makes her look better. Amber decides to sign the two up for auditioning for their high school musical. While signing them up, Amber sees Patty, a fellow student who Shane has crush on, come to sign up also. Shane begins speaking about having a crush on Patty but being too shy to ask her out. Later in the day auditions are being held at the school's theater, where a new drama teacher named Mr. O (played by Ryan Radis) makes his first appearance as their new teacher. Auditions start begin taking place with Mr. O telling the kids that they are so bad that they make him want to kill himself. After Amber sings an auto tuned dance track for her audition and Shane gets stopped during his by being told he's fat, Patty goes and sings a song. The audience is mesmerized by her performance and Shane has begun developing even deeper feelings for her. The following afternoon, a sheet revealing who got which role is posted. Amber receives the second leading role, Patty receives the first, and Shane is happy with his small role.
After several weeks of rehearsal, the cast is about to go on to perform when no one can find Patty. Shane volunteers to search after her and goes off to while Mr. O hits on Amber. He eventually finds her crying while trying to fix her costume that she outgrew. Shane can tell she's upset about her weight and tries to comfort and cheer her up, which he does successfully. The costume is fixed and the film ends with the kids having had put on a stand out performance.
