Malcolm's Girlfriend

Malcolm has a new light in his life: a perky classmate named Sara (whose face, in a quirky touch, is never shown). But, according to Malcolm , she’s “”good-looking and smart and cool. And if we went out together, it would make me happy. So therefore, it will never happen.”” Ah, but it does—a surprising turn of events that elates the lad and perturbs his parents, especially when Malcolm goes into an academic tailspin. And it’s not long before our lovesick hero admits that he’s becoming “”obsessive and neurotic, and a totally jealous creep.””
