Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Todd Miley I remember seeing a preview for this movie on The Movie Channel, I think that was the channel. Then about 2 days later I saw the movie for sale at Wal-mart. That night I actually watched it. I thought it was hilarious in so many ways. Yeah, some of the humor is kind of ridiculous but it's directed towards teens and young adults. In so many ways I can relate to this movie and so can other people i'm sure. I was very pleased with William H. Macy's performance. I also liked it because it had both actors we already know, and some that we have never seen before, or at least I haven't. All in all I think this film was very good and I hope that everyone gets a chance to see it.

TxMike This movie is a lot tamer than such movies as "American Pie" where all the high school kids want to do is get laid before the end of the school year. And that is a good thing for this movie.The characters are for the most part innocent high schoolers who talk bigger than they plan to act. It revolves around Steven Kaplan as Danny Stein, of a Hollywood Florida Jewish family. Danny wants to get a "hot" date for prom but he really isn't a ladies man. When he decides that pretty sophomore cheerleader Alice, who he gives rides home from school, would fit his ideal, he messes up that conversation so badly that she looks at him as a pervert.The title of the movie comes from a sort of running joke, as the boys and their parents discuss whether they should also get a room at the hotel where the prom is. Every time someone mentions that "Bart Got a Room", then it settles the issue, because Bart Beeber is perhaps the most geeky guy in their class. We don't really ever need to meet Bart, but we do in a late scene.William H. Macy is in his usual fine form as the dad, Ernie Stein, and wearing a wig for a full head of curly hair. Cheryl Hines is good as the divorced wife and mom, Beth Stein.Danny has a best friend from early childhood, Alia Shawkat as Camille. Since Danny was NOT in a relationship, and neither was Camille, it would have made sense for them to go to prom together. In fact she was counting on it and was very disappointed when Danny rebuffed her suggestion. But much of the last half of the movie plays on their eventual patching up of their friendship.Not a very deep movie, but relatively clean as teen prom movies go and for the most part a good 80 minutes of entertainment.

paulinski4 I never in my life thought 78 minutes could go by so slowly. Twenty minutes in to this film I wanted it to end. Poorly developed characters that were all forgettable and a very predictable storyline leave this one with a very bad taste in my mouth. Everything was clichéd and had been done before. To dub this as "predicatble" is a vast understatement. Having never seen this film before I still knew what was going to happen scene for scene. I really like William H. Macy too. It's almost like he was hard up for some cash and told himself that no matter what the movie was, he was going to star in it. Unfortunately for us, this piece of trash script landed on his doorstep. Shame on you Mr. Macy. I want my 78 minutes back so I can go spend it on watching grass grow. That's at least worth a two star rating. Steer clear of this one folks.

Jeff Beachnau I saw this at the Waterfront Film Festival in Saugatuck, Michigan.Bart Got a Room is a funny and clever film starring Steven Kaplan as Danny Stein, a senior in high school who isn't sure what to do about the Senior Prom. His best friend Camille who he's known for many years (Alia Shawkat) seems like the obvious choice, but after another friend mentions that everyone that's going to prom has gotten a hotel room for the big night, Danny realizes he needs someone other than his "best friend" to take back to a hotel room.This film is very well made an well written. Kaplan is a natural actor, he does a wonderful job playing Danny, he's like a teenage Woody Allen, having trouble finding someone to go out on a date with and not knowing how to talk to women. And Cheryl Hines and William H Macy are also perfect as Danny's separated parents. Macy is a delight having many of the big laughs in the film, which I'm sure is increased by his hilarious hair. John Polito is great as well playing Cheryl's new love interest. And there's also a funny cameo near the end of the film.Writer/Director Brian Hecker made a great teen comedy. The audience at the screening loved it, applauding many times throughout. Seek this one out, it's a very entertaining film that's sure to please. See it then spread the word.Oh, and be sure to stay for the end credits.
