SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

blatony Being a fan of Jack Black, and trying to see all of his work, I decided to give this a try. He was actually only in it for maybe 20 minutes or so, but it was a good performance. Even when his parts were done, I was still very drawn in by the main story. Without going into the story itself, all I can tell you is that I was enjoying myself. I was being entertained and was curious to see the conclusion. After I was about two thirds of the way through. Everything really (and here come the spoilers) got stupid. The third act started with the main guy finding his girlfriend overdosing, she dies, eats her note, follows a guy into a laundry place, wonders if he is having a "I might be gay minute", goes to rehab where he shaves Dennis Hopper, watches some Amish woman sing in her shower, hangs out inside and outside her house, meets another woman whose boyfriends keep dying, and then works at a mental hospital where he learns to touch people. Its like they just put in all this "stuff" for him to do. Made no sense and made the move suck.

Desertman84 FH,short for Fuckhead, is a gentle and usually mellow young man.He sometimes knows things before they happen.In the movie,he tell us his story.He narrates the following: how he met Michelle in Iowa; how he got the name Fuckhead; how she introduced him to heroin; their romantic relationship; his life as a thief; and his job in the hospital. Aside from that,he also tells his story about his life with Michelle in Chicago when she gets pregnant; and many more.As he tells details of his life,the viewers gets a view of FH and his gifts as well as his abilities.The acting of Jesus' Son is great.It is a delight to see Billy Cudrup as FH.Special Mention must also be given to rest of the cast:Samantha Morton, Holly Hunter, Dennis Hopper, Denis Leary, Will Patton, John Ventimiglia, Michael Shannon and Jack Black.Aside from that,the screenplay was written by Elizabeth Cuthrell, David Urrutia, and Oren Moverman were excellent.The direction of Alison Maclean is also commendable. Definitely,it is a good adaptation of the novel of Denis Johnson.Highly recommended. A 10/10 rating.

E Delicious First off, I must say that I'm a bit biased simply because I'm a fan of the book. I actually had know idea there was ever a movie made for Jesus' Son. I was describing the story "Emergency" to my girlfriend one day and she said, "That sounds a lot like this movie I saw with Jack Black and Billy Cruddup." Much to my surprise, we were talking about the same story...To me the book is about survivors. No matter how much you have destroyed things in your life, or no matter how badly things have turned out, you can still turn it all around. That was that message I used to get from the book, and I think the movie evokes this same feeling. Brilliant acting, beautiful soundtrack, and powerful stories... The scene with Samantha Morton dancing to "Sweet Pea" is one of my favorite scenes ever.If you're squeamish or turned off towards drug culture stories, Jesus' Son is definitely not for you. However, I would suggest both the book and the movie to just about anyone.

flingebunt Normally I am not a fan of drug or alcohol related movies as they tend to be a little bit protentious such as Requim for a Dream or Leaving Las Vegas.They try and say something specifically about the drug use, instead Jesus' Son tells a story about a person who just happens to take drugs.Here, like life, reality is confused and they choices we make haunt us.The main character Fuck Head is the ultimate loser. He takes drugs, only lives because his girlfriend saves his life, yet he lets her die in the same circumstance. He sees the sacred heart of Jesus on a man who tells him to go away. But ultimately he finds his own place in the world and sees beauty where others can't.This is an art-house movie, and the reason that art house movies don't turn up in mainstream cinemas is because they have limited appeal. So maybe you will hate this movie or maybe you will recognise the loser in yourself in Fuck Head. I know I did. Sure I want to be a cross between Mel Gibson, Brad Pitt with a touch of Edward Norton, but I know I am more of a Fuck Head. If you are too, watch this movie.
