Plot

The lead singer/guitarist of a high school rock band openly and unapologetically proclaims himself a newly-converted jerk; however, the right girl comes along who could change him back to his former sweet self.

Aspiring recording artist Adam is burned by a bad relationship experience and decides that if women won't respond to the "nice guy" then he'll be "the jerk." This is wildly successful with meaningless relationships, but when Adam meets and falls for Molly, who doesn't fall for his jerk routine, he is forced to reconsider his dating philosophy.—Anonymous

The Jerk Theory is a story about Adam (Josh Henderson), an aspiring musician who has women all figured out. After his girlfriend kicks him to the curb for the school jerk, Adam decides that, since girls dont want the nice guy, he'll be the jerk. It works like a charm.

Molly (Jenna Dewan), on the other hand, is done dating jerks. When she dumps the very tool that stole Adams girl the year before, Adam sets out to score with the girl who dumped his sworn enemy but Molly wants nothing to do with Adam or his theory.

Adam will have to reincarnate the nice guy if he wants any shot with Molly, but the transition may only lead to heartache once again.
