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.

This is a moving story, beautifully conducted. The little boys loses his mom and sister, his dad loses his wife and daughter, his grandma loses two daughters... Each one deal with their losses differently... Adam is not able to deal with it...he needs help and Father Dan will help him, along with his new friends, so everybody can be save and start a new life. Wonderful movie!Kevin Sorbo plays Father Dan, a great therapist who helps Adam to see ahead.

i bought this film because it was recommended under gay films. although i enjoyed the film for what it was, there were no gay characters in the film. dealing with the death of the mother and daughter, the young boy gets in trouble and the father drinks, grandma has to save the day.

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.
