Synopsis
The Jerk Theory (2009) is an American teen romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Aspiring singer Adam gets burned by a breakup and lands on a cynical rule: if girls won't go for the nice guy, he'll become the cocky jerk instead. Annoyingly, the act works.
Easy conquests pile up — right until Adam meets Molly, the one person his arrogant routine bounces straight off. Winning her over means unwinding the whole pose and digging back up the decent guy he worked so hard to bury. Josh Henderson plays the charming poser, Jenna Dewan the girl who won't be bought by cheap swagger. Tom Arnold turns up along the way.
Directed by Scott S. Anderson, this is a no-frills late-2000s rom-com: predictable but good-natured, with a music-career subplot and a tidy lesson about masks and honesty. It goes down easy when you want something simple and warm rather than clever. Stream The Jerk Theory (2009) online on iFILM.
