2005 · 108 min · Drama, Comedy · Germany, United States


## Synopsis

The Chumscrubber is a 2005 comedy drama film directed by Arie Posin starring an ensemble cast led by Jamie Bell as the main protagonist, and Justin Chatwin as the central antagonist. The plot, written by Posin and Zac Stanford, focuses on the chain of events that follow the suicide of a teenage drug dealer in an idealistic but superficial town. Some of the themes addressed in the film are the lack of communication between teenagers and their parents and the inauthenticity of suburbia. The titular Chumscrubber is a character in a fictional video game that represents the town and its inhabitants.
