Harold is a 2008 American comedy film, co-written by Greg Fields and T. Sean Shannon, starring Spencer Breslin, Cuba Gooding Jr., Nikki Blonsky, Ally Sheedy and Stella Maeve. The film is T. Sean Shannon's first full-length feature and is partially adapted from his earlier short film, which itself was adapted from one of his Saturday Night Live skits. It was also released six years after the death of Greg Fields.

Harold Reynolds (Spencer Breslin) is a 13-year-old boy with early male pattern baldness. Harold seems to cope all right in his hometown, Douglasburg, until his mom, Maureen (Ally Sheedy), announces that they are moving to a new house in a new town. Harold panics because he had somewhat fit in with everyone at his old school, despite his baldness.

When he arrives in his new house, he is met by an elderly new neighbor, Maude (Suzanne Shepherd), who assumes Harold is older because of his baldness, and starts flirting with him. Harold starts at his new school, and because he initially wore a hat into class, he was seemingly accepted, especially by a girl, Evelyn (Elizabeth Gillies), who he briefly flirts with. When the teacher, Ms. Vicki Norris (Rachel Dratch), notices him wearing a hat, he is forced to take it off, thus revealing that he is bald. Instantly he is ostracized by the other students, including Evelyn.

Meanwhile, Harold's older sister, Shelley (Stella Maeve), has started High School in the new town as an immensely popular and flirty cheerleader. She meets a boy named Patrick (Robert Gorry) and they quickly start dating, which leads to an amusing anecdote involving Patrick assuming that Harold is Shelley's father. To "even things out", Patrick asks Harold to buy some beer for him and his friends, which works multiple times.

Back at school, Harold is being bullied relentlessly by students. In fact, one of the few nice people are Cromer Styles (Cuba Gooding, Jr), the school janitor. While in gym class, the bullying rears its ugly head and the Coach (Chris Parnell) joins in on the bullying. Cromer comes to the rescue when he announces Harold is wanted in the office. However, that was just a decoy to get Harold away from the bullying. Cromer and Harold watch TV in the janitor's room.

Harold returns home, angry and upset, and decides to leave home to go to back his old home, where everyone liked him. However, he must leave pretty late at night so that his Mom and sister won't get suspicious. He only makes it as far as a strip bar. Harold thinks that because he looks older, he may pass for legal age, but Cromer is there as well, and he takes Harold home. He gives Harold words of encouragement, and then drops him off at home.

The next day in gym class, Harold is asked to take his shirt off as part of the Skins and Shirts team. Harold doesn't want to because he has a big strip of hair on his back, and sure enough, everyone starts laughing at him. He talks to Cromer, and they decide to pull a prank on the coach. When the coach is in the shower they put the water on cold. The coach never finds out it was them.

Not wanting to go back to school, Harold buys a few beers for himself, and is followed by Maude, who still thinks that he is much older. When he tells her he is 14, she thinks that means the size of his manhood. When he explains he is only 14 years old, she tells him to come back in a few years.

Patrick and his buddies ask Harold for one more favor: to get them some beer for a party. Harold buys the beer, but is arrested by police, who believe him to be and adult selling beer to minors. They do not believe him when he tells them that he is only fourteen. He is taken to jail and asked if he wants a "turkey sandwich" which is slang for oral sex. He declines and is bailed out by Cromer, who again comes to his rescue.

Later that night, Patrick apologizes for what happened, and tells Harold he wants to have sex with Harold's sister. Shelley tells Harold she doesn't really want to have sex, although she likes Patrick. They get Cromer to wait outside the hotel room, When Shelley leaves the room, Maude is sent in her place, and Patrick ends up having sex with her.

There is a go cart race coming up, and some of the bullies put a dent in Harold's cart in order to slow him down, but Cromer repairs the dent. A lady from the crowd shows her breasts to the bullies in order to distract them, enabling Harold to win the race, and, ul
