Summary
Teenager Justin Cobb has an addiction to thumbsucking, a habit that his decidedly weird orthodonist tries to wean him off through various unconventional methods. Later, the school psychologist diagnoses Justin with ADHD and gives him some proper medication - completely turning Justin's life around, making him into a highly successful and popular student, and in the process causing Justin to lose his true identity as he becomes a person he never was.

 Forum Posts: 0 Comments: 0 Reviews: 1 | This movie is a gem. Lou Pucci is a break-out hit as an alienated teenage debate champion. Keanu plays his mystical orthodontist. The film is very funny, overall, and Keanu gives a brilliantly witty performance.
