"Thumbsucker"

Anyone seen this movie. If you have post back, I'd like to talk about a little, but first, I just want to know if anyone else has seen it.

Ok so, now that some people have seen or read it (assuming that the movie and the book have some similarity) what did you take away as the "moral" or main idea?

I mean, to me and for the record I enjoyed the movie, I thought the idea was "It doesn't matter if you suck your thumb or anything else, so long as you can deal with life and live everyday without going insane. B/C as a person you're never going to understand everything and you're constantly going to change, so, be who you are and forget everybody else."

There was also an underpinning against ADHD stimulants, but I would like to think that was just a sub-plot.

Do you all agree, disagree, somewhat agree?
