Ein genialer Freak (1994)
Durch Zufall gerät der Obdachlose Simon an die Abschlußarbeit des Harvard-Studenten Monty. Nur gegen diverse Gefallen will Simon das Diplomwerk rausrücken, doch aus der Erpressung wird schon bald eine ungewöhnliche Freundschaft. Der liebenswerte Freak zeigt Monty und seinen Freunden, daß man die wichtigsten Dinge des Lebens nicht in Harvard lernt.
