Third-grader Sophie's parents react to their genius daughter's love of knowledge with fear and embarrassment; in fact, all the parents of her acquaintances are terribly mismatched to their offspring. In her efforts to acquire a graphing calculator, Sophie also ends up sorting out the other kids' issues. This spoof tickles the funny bone with witty observations and ridiculous situations.
