John C. Reilly's 'Terri': Jacob Wysocki Meets Vice Principal Fitzgerald In Exclusive Clip (VIDEO)

In high school, everyone has their niche. The great tragedy is that so often, those niches are assigned, not chosen.

Terri falls into two niches: he chooses to be a good hearted kid, but, given his size and feeble personality, he's been assigned to the frowned upon caste of the mocked and helpless.

Played by breakout star Jacob Wysocki, the titular character of "Terri," is a depressed youth caught acting out -- and wearing pajamas -- in response to difficulties at home and at school. When he's summoned to the office of Vice Principal Fitzgerald, played by John C. Reilly, the two begin an unlikely friendship of disaffection and mutual support.

The film is garnering rave reviews -- it appeared at Sundance to a strong response -- and hits theaters July 1st.

That wasn't even remotely interesting, and I am a huge John R. fan.

So glad I'm not the only one. It started when I watched Talladega Nights. I can't explain it - God Knows - he's no Brad Pitt or Jon Hamm and yet......

Creed should be made permanent manager of Dunder Mifflin.

Well now we know what it would have been like if Don Rumsfeld had been a h.s. principal.

Me too! I finally saw "Cyrus" the other night, and he was great in it.

This was absolutely the best narrative film I saw at the Florida Film Festival this year. It really resonated--the performances were incredible. I really hope it sees a wide release.

The clip is weirdly charming, reminiscent of Napoleon Dynamite to me. I can't wait to see it in the theater.

blacksmithn – I'm going to wait for the Blu-ray edition with the bonus behind-the-scenes features and alternate ending.
