Terri is a high school fat kid who mopes around in his pajamas in a semi-catatonic state. He develops several relationships as the film goes along, stays detached (rejected?) from most of humanity and gives no sign that the rest of his life will be much better.
I was reminded of Heavy (1995) which also featured an overweight protagonist who spent most of the film silent, looking at the floor. Similarly Terri gets us to feel sympathy for him but mostly because he's the one we follow around for two hours. I kept waiting for this kid to develop a backbone because if he's going to rely solely on understanding in the world his life will be miserable indeed.
Just barely worth it. Loved the hawk scene though.
