An outsider in every possible way, from his weight to his refusal to wear anything but pajamas, Terri spends his days mocked at school and largely left to his own devices at home. When Mr. Fitzgerald, the school’s well-intentioned Vice Principal, turns his attentions to Terri’s antisocial eccentricities, and a popular girl suddenly becomes a pariah, Terri finds himself on an unexpected path to friendship.

Jacob Wysocki as Terri delivers an exquisitely unaffected performance and is perfectly matched by the hilarious and poignant John C. Reilly. With Terri, Mamma's Man director Azazel Jacobs and writer Patrick deWitt breathe new life into the American teen movie, reminding us that we’re all outsiders and it’s all going to be okay.
