The Jerk Theory (2009)
Overview · Where to watch · Cast & crew · Reviews
Treating girls wrong never felt so right... Until he met her.
An 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, Adam is forced to reconsider his dating philosophy.
