I really didn't enjoy this movie that much, to be honest. The basic premise is as follows: young T.J. breaks a window in the development where Hesher (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is squatting, forcing Hesher to move. He decides to "move in" with T.J. and his dad (Rainn Wilson) - who just lost their mother/wife - and T.J.'s grandma (Piper Laurie). Hesher is a metalhead thrasher-type kid who spreads chaos where he goes, doing everything unapologetically. Along the way, we also meet store clerk Nicole (Natalie Portman) who T.J. becomes enamored with.
The consistency of the movie is commendable, as are the last 20 or so minutes which made me appreciate the film more than I did for the other majority of it. If you like seriously offbeat and somewhat morbid comedies, then you may appreciate this one. Or, like me, maybe you won't.
Score: 5.5/10
