Stealing Harvard -- A middle-class man turns to a life of crime in order to finance his niece's first year at Harvard University.

Mercer (Lou Taylor Pucci) steals a car to escape his small Oregon town and find his older brother after a tragic loss in the family. Once on the road he becomes attached to phone calls from Kate (Zooey Deschanel), the forgiving and mysterious girl who owns the car he stole. With her voice as guidance, Mercer travels across the former Wild West to find a new sense of belonging. A crazy trip to Reno with Joely (Jena Malone) and odd encounters with his brother's former friends soon make Mercer realize that everything he's looking for may not be on the road, but on the other end of the phone. With a soundtrack by M. Ward and some other big names in the indie music scene, and shot in the beautiful plains of the Mid-West, THE GO-GETTER is a road trip about finding love in the strangest of ways.

John (Jason Lee) leads a simple and happy life. He has a beautiful fiancée and an assistant manager position at his future father-in-law's company. Everything seems perfect, until John's favorite niece surprises him with her acceptance to Harvard University and he's reminded of a long forgotten oath he made to foot the bill! Desperate, John turns to his hare-brained and half-witted best friend Duff (Tom Green) for advice. Thinking far outside of the box, Duff convinces John that they must temporarily lead a life of crime to raise the needed cash! From the director of Superstar, and co-starring Megan Mullally (Emmy Award® winning Best Supporting Actress for TV's "Will & Grace") and Dennis Farina (Snatch, Big Trouble), Stealing Harvard is an outrageous comedy of errors proving that getting into college is the easy part!

John promised both his niece and fiance $30,000 for college tuition and money for a new house, respectively. Today, he must keep his promises, but he only has $30,000. The solution: turning to a life of crime for two weeks to steal another $30,000.
