Editorial Reviews

The death of a troubled teen throws a suburban neighborhood into chaos in this darkly satirical comedy. Dean (Jamie Bell) is a disaffected teenager living in a California suburb that's beautiful on the surface but populated by families who live emotionally vacant lives, with the parents often too wrapped up in their own problems to pay attention to their children. One day, Dean discovers his best (and only) friend, Troy (Josh Janowicz), has killed himself. While Troy's mother (Glenn Close) hasn't figured out her son is dead just yet, Dean opts not to tell her, and besides, his own parents (William Fichtner and Allison Janney) don't appear very concerned. Dean, however, does have reason to worry -- Billy (Justin Chatwin), Lee (Lou Taylor Pucci), and Crystal (Camilla Belle) are three bullies who used to buy drugs from Troy, and they want Dean find Troy's remaining stash and give it to them. When Dean refuses to cooperate, the bullies decide to get tough and kidnap Dean's little brother; however, they end up taking the wrong child and Dean grudging finds himself trying to rescue a child he doesn't know. Meanwhile, as the adults in the neighborhood begin to emotionally implode, "the Chumscrubber" becomes a common presence in town -- a comic book and video game character represented by a decapitated post-apocalyptic teenager who has become an unavoidable pop-culture icon. The Chumscrubber also features Ralph Fiennes, Carrie-Anne Moss, John Heard, and Rita Wilson. Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

December 19, 2008: This movie hits every feeling. It shows things that actually happen but never gets talked about in real life. it's completely offbeat and entertaining. I enjoyed every minute of it. and the dolphin bit is so random I just love it.

June 23, 2007: It is hard to write how truly pathetic this movie is, and the lack of any real value of this movie is appalling. At the end I felt that every actor (many who I really like), the director, and producers all owe me a personal apology for creating this and subjecting the world and I to the movie. The plot is ridiculous, you will hate every last one of the characters, and you'll wish you had that part of your life back after watching this movie.
