Rage in Placid Lake, The

After being relentlessly picked on and punched by three bullies (Stephen James King, Nathaniel Dean, and Toby Schmitz) for years in school in this exceedingly off-the-wall, wacky 2003 comedy, a geeky, angry prep school graduate (Ben Lee), who lives with his strange, liberal parents (Miranda Richardson and Garry McDonald) in Australia, tries to fit in and change the course of his life by taking a mundane job at an insurance company to the disappointment and shock of his parents and to the dismay of his smart girlfriend (Rose Byrne) who lives with her clueless, widowed, scientist father (Nicholas Hammond).
