101 Ways To Kiss
Dann in reel life: Quirky 'Terri' an anti-John Hughes movie
Reilly plays Mr. Fitzgerald, the loopy, unorthodox vice principal of a small high school. A sensitive and well-meaning doofus, Mr. Fitzgerald divides students into three groups: good hearts, bad hearts and the rest. He thinks Terri is a good heart.
The insecure, overweight Terri (played with magnanimous heart and total lack of vanity by an impressive Jacob Wysocki) has no parents, just sickly Uncle James ("The Office" regular Creed Bratton) to care for.
The idea of communicating with people terrifies him. Girls captivate and horrify him. He's a complete mess who wear pajamas to school everyday, then tries to be invisible.
Mr. Fitzgerald takes the lad under his wing, sensing that just a little encouragement might help Terri. Fitzgerald also tries to help other school misfits, among them the self-destructive Chad (Bridger Zadina) and sexually active Heather (Olivia Crocicchia), who eventually form bonds with the struggling Terri.
"Terri," directed by Jacobs from Patrick deWitt's insightful script, throws away the Hollywood playbook on coming-of-age stories and gets down to an extremely realistic view of adolescent dilemma involving the need to rebel and the fear of alienation.
Death in "Terri" is handled almost as dark comedy, while an impending act of intimacy comes on like a horror tale.
Forget about mouthy, precocious kids smarter than the adults. Forget about wise adults knowing all the answers.
This a quiet, unassuming view of flawed, frayed and friendly relationships, raw and unfiltered through Hollywood formula. It's the anti-John Hughes school movie.
"Life is messy," Mr. Fitzgerald says to Terri. They both prove it.
Over and over.
"Terri" opens at the Century Centre in Chicago and CineArts 6 in Evanston. Rated R for substance abuse, language and sexual situations. 101 minutes. ★ ★ ★

Dear AJ: Believe it or not, I wasn't shocked by the betrayal. In fact, I predicted it. It was much easier than you might imagine. How?
One of Hollywood's most often-used clichés is to put prominent film or theater stars in smaller or seemingly insignificant roles, who then turn out to be "surprise" killers or criminal masterminds.
