WHAT GOES UP is a film about a morally
challenged New York reporter, Campbell Babbitt (Steve Coogan),
who learns life lessons from a group of dysfunctional
students (Hilary Duff, Josh Peck, Olivia Thirlby) while
covering the hometown hoopla surrounding the first teacher
in space. Set in the 1980s, this is a poignant look at how
heroes are made in a world devoid of heroes.
Upon arriving in the small New Hampshire town, Babbitt
decides to call an old college friend, only to discover an
apparent suicide. Babbitt gravitates toward his friend’s
high-school students in hopes of finding an unsung hero
story about a teacher who made a permanent impact on the
social misfits of the school. Instead, he discovers the
least likely teachers — a group of dysfunctional students –
outcasts led by a narcissistic seductress (Hilary Duff), a
repressed voyeur (Josh Peck), and a scheming pregnant teen
(Olivia Thirlby). In a gradual reversal of roles, Babbitt
soon finds himself learning from this unusual group of kids.
