My Horrible Year! is the story of Nik Faulkner, a 15-year-old girl about to undergo a crucial rite of passage: the removal of her braces. Nik's exultation over this momentous event is dampened by the antics of her weird friends and her combative parents—not to mention her zany Uncle Charlie who insists upon being a bother even though he's dead. From time to time, Nik is lectured by her mirror-image alter ego, which only exacerbates her other problems. Things come to a head when Nik endeavors to prevent her parents from getting a divorce—or at least that's what she thinks she's doing.
Allison Mack plays Nik, the star of he film, and character through whose eyes the story unfolds. Nik is a typical teen, obsessed with the upcmong removal of her braces, and unhappy at being relegated to her siblings' babysitter. Her best friends in the world are Wrestling-obsessed Babyface (Caterina Scorsone) and Mouse (Daniel Petronijevic), and she has a mad crush on the new guy at school. All she wants is to reach her 16th birthday party without her entire life falling apart. |
