Caught a new, little independent feature called "Thumbsucker" tonight. It's about a 17-year old thumbsucker.
Keanu Reeves plays an orthodontist, who also serves as a spiritual counselor. And Vince Vaughn plays a high school teacher who advises the Debate Club. When one of the students is reluctant to refute a speaker's comments, Vaughn points out it's not called "Agreement Club" for a reason.
This delightful movie perfectly captures the moment when teenagers realize their parents are not infallible superheroes, but instead are imperfect mortals. In this case it's seeing his parents through someone else's eyes that does the trick.
