A boy raised in Chicago travels to Los Angeles to spend an eventful summer with his aunt.

As released by Collider: From the producer of American Pie and the director of American Pie 2 comes American Summer. After a summer internship unexpectedly falls through, uptight, Harvard bound Alex Sperling has no other option but to work for his supposedly successful cousin Roger. Unfortunately, Alex discovers that Roger is a down-on-his-luck pool boy just days away from complete financial ruin. But Roger has a possible solution team up with his call-girl neighbor to start an elite escort business. When the company unexpectedly succeeds despite the increasingly crazy clients, the trio must use their brains and their escorts to get out of the mess and get Alex back on the road to Harvard.

A funny, colorful, and surprisingly smart comedy, American Summer tells the story of Alex Sperling, Harvard-bound valedictorian, who loses his summer internship and heads to Los Angeles to work for his charming and successful cousin Roger. Unfortunately, Roger isn't quite the accomplished businessman he's made himself out to be-- he actually dropped out of Harvard, and now works as a pool boy. A series of mishaps force Alex and Roger to squat in the stunning mansion of one of Roger's clients, where they join forces with Laura, a local escort, to start an escort business. The company grows like wildfire as Alex and Roger get caught in more and more hilarious situations, from shotgun-wielding celebrities to bar mitzvahs to sadistic lesbian businesswomen, finally culminating in one giant party... but when Alex s parents and their Harvard-alumni friends show up, they have to turn the bash into a Harvard event in order to save both the business and Alex's future.
