Doesn't this seem to be a somewhat similar story to Anger Management?

I don't need to see this movie to know the plot.

Guy is a goof.
Guy has a crush on girl.
Guy goes to this "class"
Guy gets edumacated by Billy Bob.
Cut to 'funny' tennis scene.
Guy leaves "class"
Guy wins the girl.
Guy messes up.
Guy gets girl back by being himself.

Roll credits.

Pass.

Not only that, but I think he got the plot wrong. I mean, not too wrong, but I'm pretty sure the premise is that guy has to compete with Billy Bob for the girl.

Besides, I think most movies actually intend to give clues as to the plot from the trailer.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 wrote:That which has been is that which shall be; and that which has been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
And that was more than 2000 years ago...

96% of all premises have been visited at this point, go for the different jokes, actors and hot chicks. Or don't.

I think MR BACON's analysis was probably fairliy correct. But he did leave that competition bit out.

You're all wrong, this is a remake of a movie made long before all those: http://imdb.com/title/tt0054279/
May 2003 - "Mission Accomplished"
June 2005 - "The mission isn't easy, and it will not be accomplished overnight"
