Terri - Director, Azazel Jacobs / Featuring John C. Reilly
Quick About: Terri, a low-keyed, pajama clad, kindhearted, over-sized kid (Jacob Wysocki)
is coming of age in some woodsy middle America, expected to take care
of his Alzheimer stricken Uncle and still get to school on time.
Pleasing: The dark humor that always accompanies these types of
