The Chumscrubber (2005)

In a seemingly perfect upper middle class Southern California suburban neighborhood, the local teenage drug dealer (Josh Janowicz) commits suicide. His body is discovered by his best friend (Jamie Bell), who is traumatized by the incident. But his suicide spawns a child's (Thomas Curtis) kidnapping that no one seems to care about. Directed by Arie Posin, this black comedy is unique in its dark vision of an apathetic community where the parents are directly responsible for the child monsters they've created. It's not a realistic movie by any means. The deck is stacked against the parents, there's not even one adult with a lick of sense and the teenagers are a numb and shallow drug taking bunch. It's an ensemble piece with unappealing multiple characters but I could only relate to two of them: Glenn Close's raging and grieving mother who realizes her unintentional complicity in her son's suicide and Jamie Bell's teenager who closes himself off from the horror by not feeling anything. Not perfect but I admire its audacious tenacity. The large ensemble cast includes Ralph Fiennes, Allison Janney, John Heard, Rita Wilson, William Fichtner, Carrie Anne Moss, Rory Culkin, Camilla Belle and Lauren Holly.
