    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.

    A hit at the Sundance Film Festival, Terri, directed by Azazel Jacobs and produced by the team behind Blue Valentine and Half Nelson, is a moving and often funny film about the relationship between Terri (Jacob Wysocki), an oversized teen misfit and the loquacious but well-meaning vice principal (John C. Reilly) who reaches out to him. Resigned to his outsider status, Terri is surprised when vice principal, Mr. Fitzgerald, takes an interest in him. Under Fitzgerald's tutelage, Terri befriends a pair of fellow misfits and finds an unexpected, imperfect bond that reflects the tenuousness, poignance and pathos of the adolescent experience. Deftly combining authentic and candid elements with wry humor and compassion, Jacobs tells Terri's story with delicacy and complex emotionality, as the young man learns to reach outside his insular world. A film about the courage it takes to build relationships TERRI is for anyone who ever felt alone or misunderstood in high school.
