Terri 2011

Terri (2011)    Terri lost his parents at a young age and he lives with his uncle who has a lot of health issues.  Terri has a lot of problems at school, he's very overweight, wears pajamas to classes, he's always late and doesn't have much motivation, his classmates can be very cruel and the teachers are indifferent.  Mr. Fitzgerald, the vice principal is trying to help both the students who are trouble makers and those on the sidelines.  He forms a bond with Terri which causes problems of jealousy.
    This seems promising and Terri is both a different type of role and actor but it seems to fall apart and stray off on a rabbit trail.  3* (This movie is OK)

106 min, Drama directed by Azazel Jacobs with Jacob Wysocki, John C. Reilly, Bridger Zadina, Creed Bratton, Olivia Crocicchia, Tim Heidecker, Justin Prentice, Tara Karsian.

Note:  Blockbuster 2 1/2*, imdb 6.5 out of 10, 86% critic 59% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
