Overachieving California teens start to cheat, steal, sell drugs and worse. Director Justin Lin's striking debut film has a twist: This time the kids are Asian-Americans. But Lin isn't a gimmick baby. He flips stereotypes and finds cultural conflicts festering. Parry Shen shines as Ben, the high school nerd who's into SATs, sports and lusting for Stephanie (Karin Anna Cheung), who itches only for rich-kid Steve (John Cho). It's his friend Daric (Roger Fan) who gets Ben into selling cheat sheets. Then their crimes escalate. Soon Ben, Daric and their pal Virgil (Jason Tobin) — the school's Chinese mafia — are in too deep. Lin is a talent to watch. There's a sting to this film that gets to you.

“(We're Not) The Jet Set”

George Jones and Tammy Wynette were still married when they recorded the tongue-in-cheek "(We're Not) The Jet Set." The lyrics, written by Nashville songwriter Bobby Braddock, who also penned Wynette's "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" and Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today," make fun of the good life by declaring, "We're not the Jet Set/We're the old Chevrolet set." Braddock recalled that while writing the song, he needed the name of a city that evened out the rhyme he had with "Riviera" and "Missourah." “I got out a Rand McNally atlas," he said. "In the first part are the maps. The last part is an alphabetical listing of cities. I wanted a rustic, small-time sound. I went to the listing for Missouri. And I found 'Festus.' I loved the sound of it."
