I've been dying to see it since first I saw the trailer. Again, no cable in my house, however, I saw the trailer on a couple of DVD's. It looked like a black comedy, a sarcastic in-your-face type of movie that wouldn't take itself seriously. Well, surprisingly, I was wrong. It was a serious movie. It's plot is moving, it's soft, it touching. I admit it made me cry, but most anything can accomplish that. I am an emotional woman! But, I believe the writer wanted to be honest, and portray honest characters, so Hesher (above all characters) remains true to his roots. He behaves badly, he speaks poorly, but you are drawn into his message.
Despite all the inappropriate behavior and language, you understand Hesher and the necessity of this character. It is a wonderful story and a beautiful movie, which is totally a weird way to describe the movie. Watch it, and you'll understand.
