I heard of the movie "Thumbsucker" and so I researched it a tad and it was during that time that I also heard of "The Chumscrubber". I checked out both movies, expecting to like Thumbsucker the most, although I watched it last out of the two films. And let me tell you, I was severely disappointed with this film.
It is much like "The Chumscrubber" except it lacks everything that made that movie good. It is also much like the film "Garden State" which I also detested. Unlike "The Chumscrubber" this film revolves around people become addicted to drugs instead of kicking them. It is your stereotypical "we don't know anything so just flow with it" independent gray-fest.
The story is about a young teen and his angst. He has problems. Boo-hoo. To find a cure to his problematic life is given prescription drugs to help his new found ADD affliction. However, he realizes that he is addicted to the drug, and so he quits taking it. However, now he needs a different method to cope with life, and so he tries pot. Then he gets excepted to NYU and everyone's happy... whoops, I gave away the entire movie, shame on me.
But that is literally the entire movie. LAME LAME LAME.

I see that the movie poster contains the caption "I really liked that the film sucked." Sounds like that is applicable, based on your review.
haha, well I wanted the movie to be good, and I was expecting to like it, but man... it was just so bad. I read another review after writing mine and it actually ended with "Terrible, terrible, terrible!" as apposed to my "Lame, lame, lame!" haha.
