So-so film has the look of made-for-TV
“The Preppie Connection,&#34; based on an actual 1980s news story, focuses on Toby Hammel (Thomas Mann, “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl”), a middle-class kid who lands a scholarship to a posh Connecticut prep school. Though he lives at home and has a secret hatred of his snobbish schoolmates, he wants to fit in with them. Among this group is Alexis (Lucy Fry) and obnoxious, snooty Ellis (Logan Huffman). Toby insinuates himself into their hard-partying circle with marijuana and cocaine, and even takes the rap for a campus drug bust in which they were all involved. His friendship extends to Fidel (Guillermo Arribas), an ambassador’s son, with whom he goes home repeatedly to Colombia and — unbeknownst to Fidel — smuggles large quantities of cocaine back into the States.<br /><br />As the central character, Mann’s Toby never convinces us he has the smarts or courage to pull off — repeatedly — the smuggling of large amounts of cocaine. It also defies reason that customs agents would never think to check carefully a young male coming in from Colombia. Joseph Castelo’s direction is uninspired, and most of the cast looks as if they’re going through the motions, without any real connection to their roles. The movie has the look of a low-budget made-for-TV flick, with few exceptional scenes, no inventive cinematography, and a script that doesn’t hold any surprises.<br /><br />Bonus features on the R-rated widescreen DVD include commentary with director/co-writer Joe Castelo; commentary with actor Logan Huffman; making-of featurette; and trailer.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : How to win friends: smuggle $300k of uncut cocaine into your snooty prep school. Based on the wild story of a teen drug trafficker who rocked headlines in 1984, this true crime caper stars Thomas Mann (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl) as Toby, a blue-collar scholarship student at an elite boarding school who finds an in with the cool crowd by supplying them with cocaine. But things spiral out of control when Toby goes from small-time dealer to international drug trafficker, culminating in a trip to Colombia and a daring deal with a cartel. Capturing the music, style, and burgeoning greed is good ethos of the 1980s, The Preppie Connection is a stranger than fiction look at the price of popularity..
