Review of Terri (2011) by Richard D — 20 Mar 2013
A film I had heard nothing about until I ran across it on TV. Jacob Wysocki turns in an excellent performance as Terri, an overweight kid who is quite odd ... he wears pajamas to school every day because their comfortable and has no friends to speak of.
John C. Reilly is the vice principal who takes an interest and tries to help him. As the story plays out, Terri is befriended by a young troublemaker (Bridger Zadina) and a very pretty young girl (Olivia Crocicchia) who has been ostracized by her classmates because of a sexual indiscretion.
This is a very odd film that takes it's time getting anywhere, but is quite captivating due both to it's sincerity and the performances of it's mostly unknown cast. You don't really know at any point where a film like this is going to go and that's part of what makes it so enjoyable.
