I loved it. Joseph Gordon-Levitt did an amazing job in this movie. This was such an interesting,odd, strange,very different film. Devin Brochu(TJ) had some strong acting from such a young kid. I guess you would call this a dark comedy. It'sI loved it. Joseph Gordon-Levitt did an amazing job in this movie. This was such an interesting,odd, strange,very different film.

I'm giving this a 10 because it actually deserves a 9.5. ROUND UP! his movie pulls you in. it's excellent. you start off with an ambiguous situation within which dwight(sorry i don't know his name, it's sounds like rain wilson) and that kidI'm giving this a 10 because it actually deserves a 9.5. ROUND UP! his movie pulls you in. it's excellent. you start off with an ambiguous situation within which dwight(sorry i don't know his name, it's sounds like rain wilson) and that kid just deal with life after tragedy. then arrives hesher. he eventually begins to understands the family. any more would ruin it. see this film. it's really good. also, it's really funny. if you see the point of the movie, which isn't too abstract or difficult, you should love it.

cheers!… Expand

Gordon-Levitt was born to play this role. Hesher is a masterpiece of dysfunction and redemption through fire, drugs, vagina jokesand violence. It is a refreshing left turn from the touchy-feely everything is going to work out motif that seemsGordon-Levitt was born to play this role.

Wow....

What a hell of a ride. Throughout the whole movie, I'm sitting there trying to figure out the character, "Hesher" and you no what I came up with? Not a damn thing. But maybe that's what makes Hesher so great, what makes him what heWow....

What a hell of a ride. Throughout the whole movie, I'm sitting there trying to figure out the character, "Hesher" and you no what I came up with? Not a damn thing. But maybe that's what makes Hesher so great, what makes him what he is, what makes him so **** interesting. He's unpredictable, you never know what the hell he's going to do next. Played amazingly by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Hesher is one of the most rememberable characters in movie history, by far.

The movie itself mixes with a dark comedy feel, that can some times become quite strange and depressing. You'll sit there trying to figure out what the moral of this movie is, what message it's trying to get out. This can become hard to understand. But if you sit there and think of it for a while, you might just figure out it's about life, in a very strange, crude, dramatic, depressing, **** up kind of a way.

"Life is like walking in the rain, you can run and take cover, or you can just get wet." Thumbs up for originality, great performances from all cast members, and one hell of a crazy character that will never leave my mind. And I don't know if that's a good thing or not.… Expand

The story follows a family who is suffering from a tragic loss. A mysterious stranger shows up and takes refuge in their garage and in his own twisted, up way, tries to help. That's what we were told, but I didn't see Hesher as anything more than a nuisance to the them. It's unbelievable that no one would have called the cops on this guy! Anyway, ignoring the weak story and obvious plot holes, this movie was good because of its cast, plain and simple. JGL continues to be the most under-appreciated talent in Hollywood. I guess that's what happens when you start out on a sitcom. Newcomer Devin Brochu in his first major role was amazing as TJ, he's gonna be a big star one day. Even Natalie Portman, who I don't usually like, was great! Hesher isn't the best story ever written, at times it's slow, at others it just doesn't click, but the amazingly talented cast manages to keep your interest and makes this one worth seeing.… Expand
