Plot

The story revolves around Harold Clemens (Spencer Breslin), a 13-year-old teenager with a very early on-set of male-pattern baldness, and how he adapts to his aging look. Harold befriends his high school's janitor Cromer (Cuba Gooding, Jr.) and has a nerdy best friend Rhonda (Nikki Blonsky).
In addition to his unusual appearance, Harold's mannerisms, interests, and speech patterns all mark him as a mature adult male. For instance, upon arriving home from school, Harold settles in to his favorite easy chair for a leisurely perusal of the afternoon paper. In response to verbal bullying, Harold shoots back with cerebral responses that fly over the heads of his adolescent peers. He has a habit of referring to his friends as "fine fellows" and to good news as "splendid" developments.
