This film was one long strange trip, sometimes disturbing, sometimes funny, often sad journey of a young man in the early 70s trying to shake his drug addiction and find purpose in this world to do so. Not a perfect script, but still good performances by all involved. Nice performance by Billy Crudup and Samantha Morton, Dennis Hopper in one small scene - but a memorable one, and Jack Black in all his Jack Blackness made it all the better. I'm not sure this movie knew which direction it was going, but was still enjoyable strictly on performance alone

It's movies like these that make me lose faith in the film seeing public. If there hasn't been a funnier, more honest yet unfairly unseen movie then I'll give everyone on my flixster $12 to go out and rent that film. Billy Crudup who is just as under rated as this film is perfect as the lead charecter known as f*ckhead a man trying to get clean and do the right thing but f*cks up. As well as a scene stealing turn from Denis Leary and another solid turn from Samanatha Morton. Note this isn't for those who love wild hogs but for those who just love terrific charecters. The topics have been done before and better (Trainspotting and Requiem for a Dream) But if you can read the book or see the film without rooting for f*ckhead then you're most liking a bigger one then he is.

The only junkie movie I have ever loved. Brutal and often absurdly funny, Billy Crudup brings genuine warmth to the appropriately named Fuckhead. For those who only know Crudup from Almost Famous, this is a must-see; he's a brilliant and too often overlooked actor.

MCT:June 2, 2007The story of innocence, with a title stolen from a velvet underground track, Jesus' son captures the story of a young junkie, and his eventual absolution..

A beautiful little movie, largely unseen by the general public. Do yourself a favour, and rent this one!

superb middle of the road story, and goofy too.. goes back to the early roots and good performances of samantha morton and jack black as early as his x files days....

Excellent music score in the soundtrack. Great coming of age flick, of hittin' rock bottom and starting over.

Jack Black easily steals his scene, but the entire film maintains a sweetness in a world of drugs and lonliness.

I had just finished reading the book during the day, seeing a Catpower show that night, in Toronto. I was in a Coffee Time, falling asleep afterward and I felt infected by the city and its hopelessness.
I left it behind.
That's what this movie is about.
"Fuck Head! Fuck Head! Fuck Head!"
Jesus' Son adapts, FH moves on.
