Citizen Duane

Duane Balfour is a teen-aged Don Quixote born into a family of spectacular failure. What starts as a simple schoolyard rivalry snowballs out of control when Duane decides to run for mayor of the tiny town of Ridgeway. If Duane is to succeed, he must not only overcome the powerful incumbents, but also his own inadequacies, public perception, and history itself.

My take

A scrappy underdog comedy about a well-meaning teenage misfit who bites off way more than he can chew when he runs for mayor. It's the kind of feel-good chaos that reminds you that trying—even when you're destined to fail—is what actually matters.
