About:
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.
