Movie #565 "Terri" --- this is a movie that made someone's top 10 list so I ordered it --- big mistake! It has some interesting moments about being a teenager, being big and therefore being bullied, being a misfit and finding other misfits to befriend you so you aren't alone, liking the girl in your home ec class, taking care of your uncle who takes so many pills he's zonked out most of the time, but on the whole the pace is way too slow, and the acting is way too mediocre to be a good film that I could recommend. This one you can skip. There are much better films on the subject. I thought it would never end............in fact, I'm watching the ending now, and wondering if it will ever get there..............it has turned rather raunchy and more mediocre as it climbs to the high point ---- come on, where's the poignancy? where's the quirky? where's the comedy? this is just raunchy. Skip it.
2.6 out of 3 stars
Terri
(2011) R
This poignant coming-of-age tale follows Terri, an overweight orphan who, while struggling to find acceptance with his peers, forms an unlikely friendship with his vice principal, who also knows all too well what it's like to be alone.
