Our movie begins with James on his way to college. His sister, Ashley, laughs that he hasn’t spoken
for two hours and should interact with real people rather than watching videos online.
James starts to unpack as his roommate Lance arrives.
Lance is completely disinterested with James. A guy named Wesley is flirting with a girl
named Hannah. She seems bored and her friend Rachel steps in to take him off her hands.
James notices the exchange and runs to talk to Hannah who he knew in high school. They discuss
their last meeting when she was embarrassed by him, but he tells her that he was just
trying to show her how much he liked her. They have a small bonding moment over their
love for Jane Austen before she goes to her room. James returns to his room to find that Lance has
company and has locked him out. James has to spend the night in the Laundromat.
Next morning, Lance's dad comes to visit and Lance has to make the girl leave through the window.
He arrives late for class. Professor Barnes admonishes him and then asks the rest of the class
who completed the assignment. James is the only one and is asked to explain it to everyone else.
He notices the looks that he is getting from the rest of the class
so he says that he is mistaken and did not do it. Barnes is angry and assures them all that
they need to pass her class to do any other Computer Science courses at the college.
Lance, Wesley and their friend Daniel go to see James with their plan to pass the course.
They threaten him that they should all do the assignment or no-one should do it. He agrees and
they walk away discussing dating and dating apps. Lance discusses what would be his perfect dating
app and Daniel suggests that they create one themselves.
Lance has a plan and invites James to join them At their meeting, Lance asks him to build the
app for them. It is a partner app with certain conditions attached that will
make it irresistible to guys. Girls will have to be on it if they want to be with a guy at all.
James' father, Justin, and Grandfather, Phil, have arrived to see him. Lance pulls up in his car.
He asks James if he is so smart then why isn’t he at a better college.
He replies that his parents don't have the money. Lance tells him that if he creates this app
then he will give him all the money he needs to go to whatever college he wants.
James ultimately agrees - with conditions attached. He doesn't
want people knowing that he is responsible for the app so Lance should take credit.
Later, Lance returns to his room to find that James has turned it into
his coding sanctuary. Lance is angry but soon settles down once James threatens to walk.
In Professor Barnes’ class, Lance asks to be excused from a pop quiz as he is working on a
real project that he thinks will fulfill the needs of the class. After asking him about the project,
she reluctantly agrees to excuse him from some of the quizzes.
Back in their room, Lance tells James that he needs to write a summary of the project
for Professor Barnes. James agrees but starts coughing. Lance tries to wake him
in the morning but James has a bad cold. Lance is worried about how far this may set them back.
James tells him what his mother would normally do to make him feel better
but Lance refuses to submit. James says that he’ll see him in a month so Lance acquiesces.
Professor Barnes is impressed with Lance’s proposal and so she agrees to his terms.
The three friends are ecstatic. Lance returns to his room but James
has locked him out and he has to spend the night in the Laundromat.
Finally, James has completed the beta version of the app called Jungle.
The friends do a big promotional push to advertise their app - the guys can choose girls but there is
no commitment to give their name, buy flowers or meet again. The guys choose girls based solely on
a picture of the girls in their sleepwear. Some girls are discussing the app and the
amount of swipes that they have received. Hannah has received no swipes as she doesn’t
use the app and the other girls offer to help her with her profile picture. She refuses as
she can't see how the app benefits them. At a club, Lance learns that Jungle has
spread from the campus out into the real world. He and his friends are having a great time.
Meanwhile, James is still in his room watching videos on his phone. As he goes to do his
laundry he bumps into Lance and together they hear some girls discussing the app.
The girls wonder whether Lance made the app as his coding is awful. Regardless, they believe that the
creator must be a terrible person. As everyone goes home for Christmas,
Professor Barnes tells James that Jungle is pretty impressive and asks if there is anything
he'd like to tell her. James declines. Justin is disappointed that his son
isn’t more like him as he drops him off home. Leah, James’s loving mother, is at lunch with
her friends who suggest that she use the Jungle app to meet a new man.
Justin arrives for Christmas dinner with a new girlfriend Tiffany who he met on Jungle.
Phil comes to speak with James and tells him that he needs to spend more time with people
if he hopes to get a relationship. At dinner, Phil is trying to give a speech
and amongst numerous distractions he confiscates everyone’s phones.
The following night, Leah goes out for a date that she arranged
through the Jungle. Her kids do not approve and get her dad to drive them to follow her.
On her date, she clearly hasn’t read the rules and infuriates her date
who walks out on her. Her friends try to console her and encourage her to give it another try.
When Leah arrives home, James asks her what she is going to do about meeting people.
She admits that she is going to have to get used to how things are and goes to bed.
The following day, James has kicked Ashley out of his room and threatens to post rumors about
her online if she tries to take it back. James goes downstairs to do some research
about relationships. He hands out questionnaires to his family.
The questions are somewhat personal and there are a few awkward exchanges.
Phil takes James to one side and suggests that he get a relationship
rather than asking these personal questions. James has an idea and goes to see his mother
who suddenly gets a swipe from her app. James goes to his laptop and crashes the app.
Lance panics as the users start to use other apps but James manages to take those down as well.
When James goes back to college, he and Ashley tell their mother that they are aware that she
is trying to be friends with their father for their sake but it’s fine if she wants to move on.
Justin takes his son back to college and when he gets there, Lance and his friends
come to confront James. James jumps out of the window to hide and runs into Hannah.
She offers to help him and he tells her that one day he’ll do something to earn her trust back.
She reveals that she used to have a stutter and that is why she is so shy. Some girls answer the
door to them and promise to let him stay there if he makes a version of Jungle for girls.
In his room, Lance is trying to piece the app back together. His friends laugh at his delusion.
James addresses the girls by asking how is their love life? - and he means real love. He wants
to help them get their power back. He has an app for them that he will give them for free
but they have to let it work. The girls explain that none of
them have ever been on a date - guys don’t date any more - they only want to have fun.
James goes back to see the guys who threaten him to get Jungle back online. They will watch him
as he works or Lance won’t pay him a penny. The guys soon fall asleep and James slips out
with his laptop. They soon notice his absence and get up to search for him.
Lance has gone to the girl's house and they let him in. He soon reveals
to them that he has feelings for Hannah. The guys arrive at the house but the girls
won’t let them in and manage to scare them away. They can’t figure out what’s happening.
The following day, James arrives for class with the girls. Professor Barnes asks Lance
what is happening with Jungle and he tells her that he is working on improvements.
She starts to question him about his process and demands an outline by the end of the day.
At the girls house, James asks Hannah what a guy should do to earn her trust. She states
that he should be honest regardless of whether he thinks it will hurt her feelings or not.
The guys finally realize that Hannah is James’ Achilles heel and Lance decides to reveal
the true creator of Jungle to the world. James makes an announcement to the girls
about his new ultimate dating app. He reveals that they are the app - there is nothing that
he can create that equals what God has already created inside them. If they are not on any
dating apps then where will the guys go? Leah is talking with Justin when they hear
on the radio that James is responsible for Jungle. People’s responses vary from horrified to proud.
The guys confront Hannah and reveal to her that James was the developer. She doesn’t believe them
at first but then goes to ask him the truth. The girls are horrified but he explains that he
was fooled into thinking that if all the guys were on the app then all the girls would be
too - but the girl he liked was not on there. He created the app because he loves Hannah
and the girls all convince her to kiss him because he said it in front of all of them.
On campus, Professor Barnes tells Lance that he will be repeating her class
next year. Having learned his lesson, he goes to speak to Rachel to ask if she would
go to dinner with him and she says maybe . Like and Subscribe for more videos like this and
