"American Virgin" follows the story of Priscilla White (played by Jenna Dewan), a freshman college girl on a scholarship from an abstinence advocacy group promoting saving sex until marriage. After reluctantly getting drunk for the first time during a wild night, her embarrassing antics are secretly filmed by a sleazy video producer (Rob Schneider as Ed Curtzman). To protect her reputation, Priscilla and her friends embark on a cross-country journey to retrieve the incriminating footage.

3. The show was notable for its take on abstinence education, using comedy and road-trip elements to approach a serious topic with a fresh and humorous perspective, which was unique at the time of its release.
