HESHER - Fuck the World and Fuck This Movie

I know we are supposed to be digging this movie just because it has some metal in it and because the lead character is played by the kid form 3rd Rock From the Sun, but for reals, I could only stand about the first twenty minutes of it, which by all means were actually pretty funny. It was not that the movie took a turn for the worse, but that it actually didn't go anywhere.

There is this kid, right? He gets shit in school, his dad is played by the goofy flabby guy from The Office and he has a beard because I guess when your family dies, you just stop shaving, because that means you don't give a shit. And then there's his grandma, who is this old bitch that really doesn't count and actually only comes into play in the last part of the movie.

Anyway, he misses his mom because she just died in a car accident. Enter Hesher, a long-haired hippy who prefers shitty tattoes and really, truly doesn't give a shit about anything or anyone. Hesher just hangs around, without a shirt and really just speaks non sense for a good while. Not much happens then. Oh yeah, there is Natalie Portman who is all made up to look like a dorky ugly, and actually the kid is in love with her, but inevitably, it is Hesher who ends up putting his pecker up her bird nest...  Anyway, this movie sucks. Fuck it...it sucks almost as much as the Iron Lamb record, which I am listening to right now, and actually, really fucking sucks.

I think that the real trouble about this flick, its what i sells at the first sight...that because people get disappointed when watching it.

Its not bad one, i think its a weird kind of drama, the movie cover mostly emphasis on the hesher character but the really strong one its the kid...awesome acting by the way, and I also enjoy the character play by the father of the kid... I don't know what it is maybe am becoming gay or something but this drama is awesome, the metal music feature in it is now that good, but its ok!!

i see your point.

I did feel pretty annoyed by the father character. The apathy he displays was not comical at all, and I got the sense that the character was just a shell. The kid was the best part of the movie and Hesher, the actor, is actually not bad, if only his character would have had more to offer than his quota of 'fuck everything'.
