Comedy, Romance, Teen . When the German pen pal that a high school
student, Scotty (Travis Wester), has been using to help him get an "A" in
German (by translating his homework over the Internet) for years suggests
that they meet, the boy's reaction is to freak out, thinking that "Mieke"
is a) a guy and b) some sort of older sexual stalker, looking for a young
boyfriend. When he discovers to his delight that his pen pal is actually a
cute fraulein (Michelle Trachtenberg), he and his best friend, Cooper
(Jacob Pitts), fly to Europe after graduation to meet her.
