A 17 year old kid named Justin is a typical high school numskull. Never good at school, never fully interested in his activities and like that wasn't enough, he's also 'weird'. Nothing non typical here, except that most people don't know that he's a.... thumbsucker. He just can't live without it.
One day everything changes. He knows a really nice orthodontist named Perry who offers him some suggestions about how to solve the problem with his thumb. It somehow works but not without it's side effects which lead to other methods of handling such problems.
Now it's really nice to see big names like Keanu Reeves and Vince Vaugn undertake a part in a little project like this. Vaughn really surprised me and this is probably the maturest role that he has ever been in. Reeves was of course like Neo, and looks like him every time he questions about life in general.
The film is really good for growing up teens but adults will enjoy it as well because of many 'grown up' subjects like disappointment in marriage, addictions, etc... You know how this works. It's one of those bitter-sweet stories that lift you up, take you down and say a bitter goodbye at the end. But not without a taste of sweetness because of knowing that in the end everything will be alright. It's no big deal but it's pleasant non the less.
