Synopsis

Chase Revere (Justin Long) is the lonely self-appointed protector of his small town's meager place in history. He has few friends, gets no attention from girls, and spends the majority of his time dressed in costume giving tours of the town’s widely ignored historic battlefield. He is ready for a major change in his life, and fast.
That change comes when he meets Lucy Shanks (Emmanuelle Chriqui), the beautiful but unpredictable town siren. When they discover plans for an Indian casino to be built on top of Chase’s beloved battlefield, the two join forces to launch an all-out offensive against the project. Chase and Lucy quickly earn the disdain of the entire town (and its feebleminded mayor), who believe that the casino will be a remedy for the town's economic woes with little regard for their own historical heritage.
The struggle bonds the two together, and Chase soon realizes that in order to save his town – and his chances with Lucy – he may have to pull his head out of the past to appreciate what has been right in front of him all along. This heartfelt romance celebrates the triumph of young love in the face of adversity, and it will have you laughing hysterically at some of the finest names in comedy today!
