Thirteen-year-old Harold (Spencer Breslin) loves his little hometown. He knows everyone and everyone knows him. He's a leader in school. When his Mom (Ally Sheedy) tells Harold and his older sister (Stella Maeve) that she has a great job offer in another town, Harold doesn't want to leave, but he has no choice.
Most of the kids and some of the teachers in the new school simply aren't nice to a 13-year-old nurd with serious male pattern baldness, bunions, dorky clothes, old man attitude. Life is only made a little easier thanks to a school janitor (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) who befriends Harold.
Others in the cast include: Fred Willard as the doctor in the new town; Nikki Blonsky as Rhonda who has a serious crush on Harold; Nicky Katt as a policeman; Chris Parnell as Coach Vanderpool; Suzanne Shepherd as the sex-starved old woman next door; Elizabeth Gillies as Evelyn who Harold persues; Robert Gorrie as his sister's boyfriend.
