Review of Hesher

Hesher (2010)
6/10
a different story about grief
3 May 2012
This movie was interesting and different. It's about a boy, TJ, and his father that live with his grandmother and they are dealing with the death of his mom. Hid dad is taking it very hard by just laying around the house and taking pills. One day, TJ is being chased by a bully and meets Hesher, a long haired, tattooed, stoned looking guy. Hesher just follows him home and welcomes himself in the house and starts doing laundry. Now the part I didn't like is why wouldn't they call the police when a stranger enters the home and starts living there.

Anyways, TJ meets Nicole, whom he develops a crush on and is basically his only friend. Hesher is reckless and starts doing crazy things to TJ's bully and gets TJ involved. AT that point, the kid should have told the truth.

But a lot of crazy stuff goes on and it shows how the family is dealing with the mom's death and later another death.

FINAL VERDICT: It was just weird, but different. I recommend it if you want a different type of story.
