Movie Review
 

The Chumscrubber is a 2005 dark comedy film directed by Arie Posin and written by Posin and Zac Stanford. It stars Camilla Belle, Jamie Bell, Justin Chatwin, Glenn Close, Rory Culkin, Thomas Curtis, William Fichtner, Ralph Fiennes, John Heard, Lauren Holly, Jason Isaacs, Allison Janney, Carrie-Anne Moss, Lou Taylor Pucci, and Rita Wilson.

Jamie Bell stars as Dean Stiffle, a teenager whose father (Fichtner) is a self-help "Doctor Feelgood" guru and whose mother (Janney) is a proponent of a new lifestyle involving vitamins. Dean's best friend, Troy, the local high school drug dealer, commits suicide, owing Billy (Chatwin) a large amount of pills. Billy decides that Dean, who lives next door to Troy's mother (Close), is the best person to get the pills from wherever Troy hid them, so he decides to kidnap Dean's younger brother (Culkin), Charlie, to force him to get them for him. Instead, he kidnaps the wrong Charlie, and instead gets the son of a local policeman (Heard) and the town's mayor's (Fiennes) fiancée (Wilson).

The film focuses on the lack of communication between teenagers and their parents, and the prevalence of prescription drugs in American society.

The title of the film refers to a popular video game omnipresent in the teenagers' lives, in which a post-apocalyptic hero carries his severed head in his hand as he fights the forces of evil
