Director : Spencer Susser
Running Time : 102 mins
Following the death of his mother, TJ (Brochu) finds life difficult, what with his father Paul (Wilson) suffering from depression and the school bully hassling him all the time. So when he runs into a man called Hesher (Gordon-Levitt) – who, uninvited, moves into his house – and also falls in love with a checkout girl called Nicole (Portman), he finds his life getting even more complicated.
There seems to have been a trend for these kind of movies coming out of the States in the last decade or so, where there is little plot and everything is based around characters and their reactions rather than any particular linear events that might come along to interrupt their lives. Saying that, this is still a really good film that really allows Gordon-Levitt to show that he is so much more than just Tommy in Third Rock From The Sun. Some great performances all round, even if some of the story didn’t really gel quite as well as it could have.
