About Dirty Deeds

Zach Harper, a high school senior chasing respect and a crush, treats the legendary Dirty Deeds as a test he must survive in a single day. The list is a whispered campus challenge, rumored to be nearly impossible to finish within 24 hours. With the bully crowd of jocks closing in, Zach stacks one dare after another, pushing his limits and bending the lines of what a senior can get away with. The day spirals from prankish bragging to reckless acts that threaten friendships and his future. Along the way he grapples with alcohol, fast cars, and the infamous goal of snagging an ex homecoming queen's bra, hoping it will seal his moment of glory. Time keeps ticking for him.

Directed by David Kendall, Dirty Deeds adapts ideas from Jon Land and Jonathan Thies. Released in 2005, the comedy follows a high school senior who tackles a legendary dares list in a bid for respect and love that resonates widely.

Box office data for Dirty Deeds isn't widely documented, reflecting a modest release and limited commercial impact. It played in select theaters and later found life on video, and has since circulated on streaming platforms to reach new audiences worldwide.

Reception wise, the film reads as a lightweight teen comedy with an audience rating around 5.5 out of 10 from roughly 122 votes. It leans on youthful bravado and crude humor while exploring themes such as peer pressure, loyalty, and the costs of chasing popularity for fans of the era.

Despite featuring actors who later found bigger fame, Dirty Deeds left little lasting imprint on pop culture. It isn’t widely referenced in retrospectives, and only a handful of moments survive in memories of fans who followed mid 2000s teen comedies. For most viewers it remains a footnote for curious viewers.
