Meet Justin Cobb (Lou Pucci), a teenager who still sucks his thumb. Realizing it's totally disrupting his home, love and school love life, he allows his orthodontist (Keanu Reeves) to break him of the habit through hypnosis. Justin begins to experiment with prescription drugs, pot and sex as alternate means to overcome his anxieties and become "normal," never realizing normal is just a state of mind.

Justin Cobb, the narrator of Walter Kirn's wildly funny novel (an amazing Lou Pucci), needs a lot of help to quit a shameful habit...

Rotten

A very loose movie, which is even capable to provoke antipathy. [Full Review in Spanish]

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)

Fresh

Sublimely honest insight into the complexities of life

Fresh

Although Mill's debut is occasionally flawed, there is much to admire.
