My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Terri (2011)

Azazel Jacobs' independent film about an overweight high school kid and his friendship with the principle of his school, staring John C. Reilly, is mostly charming with quirky characters doing unpredictable things.  I liked the experience even if it felt a little flat at times.  Terri's transformation or journey is subtle enough, which is usually a good thing, but I wish there had been more going on.  I wanted it to leave me with a lasting impression but instead it's kind of forgettable.  Grade: B.
