A moving and often funny film from director Azazel Jacobs, Terri tells the story of a big kid in a small town that doesn't seem to have room for anyone who is different. Deftly combining dark, even uncomfortable elements with wry humour and compassion, it features a memorable performance from Jacob Wysocki as the teenage misfit and Oscar-nominated John C. Reilly as his unconventional high school vice principal.
Resigned to outsider status, Terri is surprised when his tough-talking vice principal, Mr. Fitzgerald, takes an interest in him. Although his efforts are sometimes clumsy and at times dubiously professional, under Fitzgerald's tutelage, Terri befriends a pair of fellow misfits. The three teenagers, different on the surface but outcasts all the same, find an unexpected, imperfect bond that reflects the tenuousness, poignancy and pathos of the adolescent experience.
Brace yourself for this year's funniest Sundance hit! Quirky outsider Terri (Jacob Wysocki) is stuck living with his uncle (Creed Bratton, TV's The Office) and trying to make it through high school. But life takes a turn for the unexpected when his goofy and wild irreverent vice principal (John C. Reilly, Walk Hard) convinces him to reach out.
Now with the help of a beautiful misfit (Olivia Crocicchia, TV's Rescue Me), Terri is about to discover you don't have to fit in to belong.
