HESHER

Directed by: Spencer Susser
Released: 2010

a nihilistic, anarchist, homeless metalhead who's some kind of bizarre guardian angel/superhero. he wanders into one family's life (said family just lost their mother/wife to a car accident) and only causes problems. rainn wilson plays the father, a pill popping sadsack who refuses to get off the couch (or put pants on) except to go to grief counseling. his son is about 12 or 13, who's equally filled with grief, but being a kid, doesn't know how to express it. natalie portman (who apparently is in every movie ever) plays the "romantic interest" for the kid. hesher, in a roundabout way, is actually a good influence on these people, they just don't realize it. it's tough to explain without spoiling too much, but it's definitely worth seeing. 7/10.
