  The Boy with a Thorn in His Side  is a quirky, offbeat comedy about a teenager coming to terms with himself, his problems...his life. The film centres around Billy Heinlickburger, an unemployed 18 year old loser who is drifting through his days without a care in the world. He s got a few problems, you see. His parents for starters. His mother Gertrude is a nervous wreck while his father Jurgen is a bit...eccentric, to put it nicely. Billy s love life is something to behold as well. He still has strong feelings for his ex Susan, but she s moved on with her life. Billy s world is a strange one, for sure, but it is an forgettable, coming of age tale that you will forget.
