From the caterers of Wild Hogs and the sound team from Anchorman, comes this hilarious story of one guy and his buddies. Sten is basically a good man, if a little reclusive. He doesn't really like people that much; he thinks most of them are stupid. He spends most of his time with his friend Ennis. He corrects everything Ennis says, because Sten has a college degree, and Ennis doesn't. He also corrects his friends Lane, Eric, and Gan* all the time, like when they stupidly call a "backpack" a "bookbag,"
The actor that will play Sten would need to be real good at the Napoleon Dynamite voice, yelling things, and generally looking exasperated.
Once people see the movie, one word from The Corrector will be sweeping the nation, in an Office Space sort of way. You see, at Christmas, Sten gets some new shoes-with-wheels. Whenever Lane, Eric, Gan and Ennis see him rolling around they say, "Nice wheelies, nerd."
In response, Sten hits the brakes, turns around, tenses his shoulder, and yells, "HEELIES!" in his best disgusted grunt.

Just to clarify...I'm Ennis?
*Update: Very excited to have found this online...
The Name Origin and Meaning of Gan
Gender: Male

Meaning: The Vietnamese name Gan means - near
I had been wracking my brain figuring out how to do that, but it was so easy. All it took was a little research. He's played by Dat Phan (who adds some stand-up-comic goodness) and the adoption adds to some dramatic backstory!
He even corrected tangential friend Uli when she claimed not to feel good one night. "UM! I think you mean you don't feel WELL." Uli's confidence was too shot to know that she, too, was correct. And that lack of confidence (plus whatever made her feel bad (not badly!) in the first place) contributed to her untimely death. This kicks off Sten's crisis (perhaps aided by Uli's German family seeking revenge??).
