What happens

Cheats is a 2002 American teen comedy film about four friends that have been cheating their way through high school, and have to face new challenges to avoid getting caught before going to college. The lead roles are played by Trevor Fehrman, Matthew Lawrence, and Mary Tyler Moore. The original title of the movie was Cheaters but was thought that likely to be confused with the 2000 movie Cheaters starring Jeff Daniels and produced by New Line's sister company, HBO Films.
