Hesher (Movie Watch)

Loud music. Pornography. Burning stuff to the ground. These are a few of Hesher's favorite things. And they are what Hesher brings into the lives of 13-year-old TJ & his father Paul when he unexpectedly takes up residence in their garage uninvited. Paul is grief-stricken to a point that he can't muster the strength to evict the strange squatter, and soon the long-haired, tattooed stranger becomes a fixture in the household. Hesher also befriends TJ's grandmother, who lives with them. She's extremely lonely as her son & grandson are unable to snap out of their fog. When Hesher appreciates her cooking & listens to her stories, it's as though she found a new friend, under very odd circumstances. The only friend TJ really has is Nicole, who is a supermarket cashier who comes to TJ's rescue when he first encounters Hesher. They have an odd relationship that's based, in part, on TJ's infatuation with Nicole. Although initially a rather terrifying character, over time Hesher's anarchy shakes the family out of their grief & helps them embrace life once more.
