Time flies in Disney Channel's 'Minutemen'

In high school, the cool crowd rules. The outcasts sit alone in the lunchroom, overlooked and certain that the world is a miserable place.But in "Minutemen," Disney Channel's newest original film, three decidedly uncool seniors at the fictional Summerton High School find a way to change their world, thanks to a homemade time machine.Tumbling into a colorful vortex, Virgil (Jason Dolley), Charlie (Luke Benward) and Zeke (Nicholas Braun) revisit the recent past, tinkering with conversations and embarrassing events just enough to help their friends and assure their own popularity

"They can only go back a maximum of two days," said Dolley, who found he could relate to his character's fun-loving nature. "Once they're back there, they have a window. They can only stay for 10 minutes to correct the social injustices or turn the jokes around."The movie follows the adventurers and their classmates, including a cheerleader (Chelsea Staub) and a football hero (Steven R. McQueen), both childhood friends of Virgil's who have grown away from him.

Virgil and Charlie (Jason Dolley and Luke Benward, respectively) are two nerdy students at Summerton High (which looks suspiciously like Murray High School) who meet when they become victims of a football team prank and are hung by their undies from the giant statue of the school's ram mascot.Charlie may be small and young, but he's a genius inventor. His latest creation is using any light source (in this case, a slide projector) to bend time. With the help of Virgil and a loner biker boy named Zeke ("Sky High's" Nicholas Braun), they build a time machine that can send them back a day or two.
