A school heist… led by kids? Yep, and it’s not as scandalous as it sounds—unless you’re failing math.
Vertical Entertainment picked up North American rights to F Plus, an upcoming family comedy that’s giving Saturday movie night energy with a side of middle school mischief. Directed by Kenny Beaumont and written by Jonathan Davenport, F Plus is about a group of clever teens who cook up the “perfect” plan to break into their school—not to steal lunch money or cause chaos—but to change their failing test grades. Desperate times, right?
Six-time UFC champ Randy Couture (The Expendables) stars in his first family film, alongside comedy legend Tommy Davidson (In Living Color), Jennifer Esposito (Crash), and WWE superstar Ettore “Big E” Ewen. Rounding out the cast are some talented up-and-comers: Wells Rappaport, Lily Jane, James Williams Jr., Lilly Rae Tricano, and Cade Clark.
Check out the trailer below for a first look at the grade-A fun and chaos:
Eli Lipnik, President and Head of North America Productions at Swen Studios, shared his excitement:
“We’re very proud of all the hard work by our cast and crew and are grateful that SAG granted us a waiver during this complicated time. We’re also looking forward to introducing Randy to a new audience with F Plus being his first family film. Swen Studios is excited to bring another wholesome, star-powered family film to market with no better partner than Premiere Entertainment.”
Produced by Swen Studios and In The Dark Entertainment, F Plus was brought to life during last year’s production challenges, and the team managed to make movie magic in the midst of a storm. Eli Lipnik produced alongside Jason M. Murphy, with executive producers Murray Lipnik, Amber Wilkins, Tim Wilkins, and Dimiter Nikolov. Premiere Entertainment’s Elias Axume and Carlos Rincon helped shepherd the film to market, with Vertical’s SVP of Acquisitions Tony Piantedosi sealing the distribution deal.
This one’s for the whole family—whether you’ve ever dreamt of pulling off a middle school mission or just love a feel-good underdog story. F Plus fits right in with Vertical’s recent lineup, including The Order starring Jude Law, Elevation with Anthony Mackie, and Lee featuring Kate Winslet and Alexander Skarsgård.
No release date yet, but trust—F Plus is one to keep on your radar if you’re craving heart, laughs, and just a dash of rebellion.
