One day Terkel finds a way to be cool, sadly it involves making fun of his best friends' sister and his girlfriend, what is a sixth grader to do? Make fun of her and call her a fat pig! When the abuse from Terkel is too much, she throws herself out a window which only makes Terkel more popular. Now dealing with popularity Terkel finds solace is booze, guns and everything American. But then life takes a turn for the weird when he receives strange death threats, unable to confide in his annoying sister or alcoholic uncle Stewart, Terkel turns to his teacher, a stoned out hippie with intentionally hilarious results.

Critic Reviews

Ed Scheid, Boxoffice Magazine

Bill Gibron, PopMatters
Like South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut by way of Copenhagen, or old school Looney Tunes after doing one too many bong hits, Terkel in Trouble is terrific.
