(2) 4-6 Kevin Spencer (Liar, Liar; Flat Broke) loves Tina Zabinski. In order to get up the courage to ask her out, he decides to try the scientific method and examine love through a number of perspectives, including his parents, sister, friends, and acquaintances. Kevin is still a little boneheaded and a little pompous, but his concerns are everyboy's, pre-adolescents and young teenagers alike.
