Plot:
The dark coming-of-age comedy concerns an 17 year-old
high schooler, Justin Cobb (LOU PUCCI), whose life spins into
turmoil when he tries to break his thumbsucking habit.
"Thumbsucker" is an honest and funny look at the
struggles of people who feel deeply flawed, both those in
youth and middle age. They yearn to be anything but their
real selves with their real fears and doubts. Instead, they
want to be "normal." They look for magic answers
to fix themselves – only to realize that they can't
be someone else, that "normal" does not exist, and
that their flaws are what make them human and loveable.
The directorial debut of Mike Mills, adapted by Mills from
the novel by Walter Kirn, THUMBSUCKER is a This is that, Cinema-go-go
and Bull’s Eye Entertainment production.
