Calling Terri lazy is only half the story. The overweight, downbeat adolescent wanders to school and around town in pajamas, is mercilessly mocked by other kids and is a complete misfit. But he\'s also depressed and for good reason. Lacking parents, he lives with (and cares for) an uncle sinking into dementia in a kind of bohemian squalor. Terri is an emotionally touching, mildly amusing and psychologically intriguing if sometimes slackly paced comedy by writer-director Azazel Jacobs. It stars newcomer Jacob Wysocki in the title role and John C. Reilly, sort of reprising his part in Cyrus, as a misfit principal who reaches out to the outcasts of his high school. “Life\'s a mess, dude,” he tells Terri, articulating the film\'s perspective, “but we\'re all just dong the best we can.” Well, that\'s true at least for this film\'s characters. Terri is out on Blu-ray and DVD.
