WILD IN WONDERMART

Four teenage boys stricken with angst over their upcoming graduation conspire to lock themselves in a local big box store as a senior prank, part of which includes tricking their girlfriends into being there when the lockdown happens. Their long-term plan has them selling their story to Hollywood producers for big bucks.

It doesn't take long before the power and temptations have them all Wild in Wondermart. Lost in a veritable consumerist orgy, they help themselves to everything and anything they want, creating cozy casbahs, skateboard ramps, bike raceways, killer entertainment systems and a fort made out of dog food bags. They raid the shelves for clothes and food, the pharmacy for birth control pills and even engage in a massive food fight.

At first the outside world thinks they are victims of some unfortunate accident, but when the deceit is discovered the pressure is on. As the teens try to think of an excuse for what they've done, they realize the best excuse — that they did it to draw attention to the fact that Wondermart is ground zero for everything screwing up the world — is actually the truth.

In their new role as anti-consumerist activists, they shine a light on critical environmental and social justice issues via an online presence. Forging deep bonds that draw the couples into committed relationships, they continue to dream of a lucrative movie contract while dreading the end game.

With helicopters flying overhead, they demand to meet with a famous documentary filmmaker whose work has inspired them and whom they hope will take an interest in their story. After a deal (far less lucrative but far more meaningful than they first imagined) is struck, they agree to come out of the store. Finding nothing on the shelves that suits their new-found standards, they make funny hats with hemp paper and twine and walk out naked.

High stakes, reckless abandon and a powerful message. . . this movie has it all.
