"Clipping Adam
Despite what he says, Adam is not "fine". The summer before freshman year should be a time full of possibilities, but Adam struggles with a dad that is drunk, due to the fact that he can't deal with the death of his wife and daughter from a auto accident. Adam has not cut his hair for 2 years, and deals with a high school bully that hates long hair. Fortunately, Adam finds help from friends, a catholic priest, and his grandmother. I found the ending very different than expected."

"Clipping Adam is a family film about a young teen boy's attempt to deal with a family tragedy, yet still fit with his peer group. There is conflict with an older teen bully who tries to forcibly make Adam cut his rather untidy hair.
The conflict with the bully is resolved and Adam attains increased maturity and demonstrates it by having his hair clipped to prepare for school."
