Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Pamela De Graff Cute movie with likable Jonah Hill clone, Jacob Wysocki, about an awkward, overweight non-conformist and his relationship with his understanding principal and chief advocate (John C. Reilly), his interactions with his dysfunctional friends and family, and his dysfunctional interface with the straight world at large.Terri is more of a darkly comic, bittersweet ballad than a film with a decisive progression from Point A to Point B; nothing is resolved, and Terri neither receives particularly sound advice, nor gains any meaningful epiphanies into how to make life easier for himself.Despite this, we do get the impression by the movie's end that Terri has at least stepped onto the long path to self-actualization. The film takes a cue from A Boy Named Charlie Brown (1969), repeating that story's poignant message that the world isn't going to come to an end just because you fail to meet mainstream society's expectations, and that it's OK to be who you are.

SnoopyStyle Terri (Jacob Wysocki) is a misfit who comes to school in his pajamas. He lives with his spaced out uncle (Creed Bratton). His vice principal Mr Fitzgerald (Jon C. Reilly) tries to reach out to him. Terri becomes friends with two other misfits. Chad (Bridger Zadina) is an angry wired loner, and Heather (Olivia Crocicchia) is the disgraced beautiful girl who got caught in a sexually permissive situation while in class.Jacob Wysocki is playing a very low energy character. They have to figure out how to show that character in a compelling manner. Watching him getting picked on all the time wasn't such a fun watch. Bridger Zadina has a nice role as the energetic crazy little guy. I think it would have been better to start the movie with them as friends. At least the movie would have the energy to drive it along. Olivia Crocicchia does a good job as the girl. The big scene feels voyeuristic. But all three kids play their roles well. It's an odd little film. I just wish they showed what happened to their friendship after that night.

tieman64 "Terri", a weak drama by Azazel Jacobs, stars Jacob Wysocki as Terri Thompson, a shy, bullied, overweight teenager. As is typical of such films, Terri strikes up a relationship with a beautiful girl who is likewise an outcast and who readily offers him sex. Less conventional is a character played by John C. Reilly. He's a one time outcast who has grown up to become a school principal. Reilly takes Terri under his wing for a series of teacher/student meetings, and does his best to counsel the poor kid.Jacobs directed "Momma's Man" a few years earlier, a similar but stronger film. "Terri", in contrast, reeks of indie conventions. Its most interesting moments - "Terri" confronting some bizarre, murderous inclinations – are brought up only to be quickly cast aside.6/10 – Worth one viewing.

napierslogs The tag-line for "Terri" is "We've all been there." Yes, we have all felt alienated at some point in our lives. But unlike Terri, most of us do not pro-actively alienate ourselves. Terri is in high school and life is difficult for him because he's weird, over-weight and just plain unlikable. We're supposed to feel sympathy for him, but I never liked him.He wears pyjamas to school (the same ones everyday), takes joy in the demise of animals, and has no thought of altering his behaviour when kids bully him. The only thing that seems to help is when Assistant Principal Mr. Fitzgerald (John C. Reilly) takes an interest in helping him and denotes him as a good-hearted student.I like John C. Reilly and I like the idea of the principal wanting to help out the less popular kids. Fitzgerald's tactics are unorthodox and certainly not illegal or even immoral, but in reality, they would definitely get him fired. Terri's would-be friends were more interesting characters but the pretty and popular Heather who was written as knowing how pretty she is would be less likely to engage in low self-esteem actions.Perhaps "Terri" isn't even trying to place itself in reality. I don't know. For such a simple, slow-moving film, there was a number of things that I didn't know. Some of which they didn't tell me, others I just didn't care enough to find out the answers for myself. If Terri doesn't care, why should I?
