This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I'll encourage such a good movie with an 8Interesting, very well shot and acted, good story, nice grip, becoming concept, funny, moving, intriguing, smart, all in all a very good film.I recommend at least a go with this movie, it offers a scent of new in a world of cheesy stereotypes, fishy propaganda and boring clones mostly from Hollywood. After all they basically find ways to give Oscars to themselves...Very good Levitt (he is starting to deserve a little more than good reviews) and the rest of the cast is never out of place.If you missed this, try to find it, you won't regret it.

I can't believe how many people thought this was such a great movie ?!?!...Who was Hesher and where did he come from to just plant himself in these people's home ?!?!..But that's not the point ... What a mouth on this character ..... I am no prude and have been known to curse up a storm but this guy was ridiculous --- and all the filthy sexual acts he described in detail using this language ..... There was a time that this would have been considered an "X" rated movie for the language alone ........and Hesher was more of a bully than the one in school that was terrorizing the young boy ....What ideas this movie could put into a young vulnerable person's head ..... What kind of people are thinking that this was such a great movie ?!?!?!! .What was Joseph Gordon-Levitt thinking ?!?!.. I couldn't even stomach watching the whole thing and shut it off ..... What a waste of my time ..... If there was a "0" rating, that is what I would have given it .....

TJ is a brat who is not lucky in life. He has recently lost his mother in a car accident and lives together with his father, depressed and lazy and with his grandmother. Everything changes when in his house appears a strange man with long hair who loves rock music and has all kinds of tattoos on his body. He comes home to wash the laundry and even threatens him that he will kill his the family if he don't let him live there. How has no choice TJ must be agreed. The child is having trouble at school and he is always bullied by a student who did not leave him in peace and taunting him whenever given the opportunity. In his life appears a girl who works at the supermarket and who will save him one day from the hands of the guy who wants to beat him. But Hesher will make TJ to have a bad opinion about her but it will save him once from the hands of the bully.I don't think this movie has a great message because we see a child cursing and it's talking disrespectful with his dad, leave home and comes back when he wants without providing any explanation of where he was and what he did. Or how it's used to threaten a man much older than him and he's aware that he can't put up with him.I honestly say that I hate this kid, in some sequences he looks like Linda Blair from The Exorcist but if I am thinking better I think he would need an exorcism.

A Saviour uses a fast track approach with his radical therapy to put those of us experiencing a shattered spirit, and we all do...at different ages and stages in our life. By hyper-extending our physical, emotional and mental security, he uses as many shocks to the heart as needed to jump start our spirits again, giving us new eyes of awareness and the guts to live fully! I absolutely loved this movies message and highly recommend it. Heshers message is awesome. The cast is excellent, with very few characters needed. I haven't seen a movie this good with such a clear cut message plain and simple in eons. Brilliantly written, directed and acted. Long Live Hesher! 10/10
