Aaron S Of the two Azazel Jacobs movies I've seen (The Lovers and Terri), he very much is in tune with the awkward and atypical patterns of life that we're all a part of, but just don't talk about all that much or admit that we're okay with. A vice principal palling around with an outsider student is bordering on a crossed boundary, sure, but the way the film portrays all of Terri's relationships is like they are crossing his own personal boundaries as his insecurities and malaise seem to ooze out of him at almost every moment. In the end, his friendship with the vice principal is his most fruitful one and it begs the question of is there really any harm in that? I don't know. This movie certainly doesn't communicate that. Not all people fit into a path that society has prewritten and I think Terri is about accepting and understanding these atypical rhythms people fall into and questions how healthy or unhealthy "fitting in" really is. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/23 Full Review isla s I thought this was quite a touching, quirky film. The central character is someone its easy to feel sorry for, he's a real underdog type character. It's sad to see the bullying that happens but there are some amusing moments too. I thought John C Reilly gave a good performance as the principal who sees something in Terri and the friendship the two of them develops is quite nice. Its not an entirely original storyline or anything but I enjoyed watching it for the characters. I suppose it reminded me slightly of Napolean Dynamite. It is sad and touching. I would recommend this film, yes. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Small, low budget but interesting. (Maybe boy bullied less if not wear jammies to school every day.) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Just didn’t feel anything while watching this. Too long Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/04/20 Full Review Audience Member Decent watch at best, probably won't watch again, and can't recommend. I would have thought I'd want to J.C. Reilly to be my counselor, but it's a very awkward character, and has some potentially ill-intended implications. The main plot is about a troubled teen in an poor situation, and it is hardly ever addressed directly. The movie is a cycle of disappointing cycles, mirroring far too close to the mental hardships of teen-hood. The movie also just sort of ends. This is far too heavy a movie to be legitimately funny, and too casually constructed to be a powerful drama. I honestly don't recommend watching this,but it;s not a complete waste of time if you do, the movie has its moments. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Everything an indie film should be--quirky, uneven, charming and a glimpse into a unique world. The relationship between the two principals is quite enjoyable. It's time well spent. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
