SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

norahfields There are so many kids out there trying to make the world a better place, trying to save people and do everything in their power to just give everyone a voice. It's important that these wonderful teenagers are reminded that they are just kids, they shouldn't have to be therapists and they shouldn't have the responsibility for someone's life and I think this movie tells that story really well.Gustin Nash has written a heartfelt story and shows a knack for one liners, but Jon Poll's film technique falls a little short as the images to the words doesn't add to them enough.It's a great film and I recommend watching it when you're feeling nostalgic or you need a cheering up, but this is not a go to film for when you want to experience a slap of pure cinema.

Bene Cumb I have casually watch movies for/by younger people, and even when I was much younger, I have to admit that I seldom liked them. They tend to be full of clichés and contradistinction of the rich and the poor, nerds and party animals, i.e. lots of black-and-white approaches. Well, the movie in question is not totally free of them, but thanks to good performances (particularly Anton Yelchin as Charlie Bartlett and Robert Downey, Jr. as Nathan Gardner) and some new angles in the story make the movie rather enjoyable to follow - in spite of the fact that I have serious doubts about the tangibility of the events and background; is it possible to hold such a school in the US?Anyway, quite a good movie, recommended to watch - unless you hate Yelchin or Downey, Jr. :)

JÄnis Locis Charlie Bartlett is a movie with a good message, shows you how important it is to act in a friendly way and even though Charlie was way wealthier than everybody else he treated everyone equally, showed compassion for every single one of the kids, even the guy who kicked his ass multiple times. That only shows, that even your biggest enemy can someday be a good friend of yours and have you back when the situation gets nasty.A traditional teen movie, with the usual flicks, but what i was quite disappointed about, was the fact that there was no school staff intervening Charlie's business, as a matter of fact really no school staff whatsoever apart from principal and superintendent. Robert Downey Jr. had his usual role of a cocky guy, performed well as per usual.Charlie Bartlett was a great role model and Anton Yelchin's performance was superb in this movie, really the right person to play Charlie.What i found interesting was that the music in the movie was really good, i very rarely see a movie, where i can enjoy the music while watching it, all the musical scenes, especially the music at the very end were really great, in my opinion.

g-bodyl Charlie Bartlett is this generation's Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It's a sweet, uplifting coming-of-age film that had some social messages and can very well be a true story at most high schools. Granted, this is not the best teen film, but for what it is, it's good and often compelling despite the story skipping around a lot.Jon Poll's film is about a rich guy who has been expelled from every private school so he is enrolled in a public school. Being unpopular at first, he changes that once he becomes the unofficial psychiatrist in the bathroom stall administering drugs. There he receives the negative attention of Principal Gardner and the positive attention of his daughter, Susan.The acting is pretty good. Anton Yelchin delivers a solid performance as Charlie and is pretty convincing. However, the show belongs to Downey Jr. This is his last film before his complete comeback with Iron Man, but he is excellent as the alcoholic Principal Gardner.Overall, this is not the perfect teen film, but it manages to deliver a touching story that will ring true to many high school/college kids out there. It's smartly written and has some fine dialog. The story sometimes skips over the place, but if you can catch up it's no big deal. I rate this film 9/10.
