Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

vaarmen After reading the book, I decided to watch the movie but disliked it very much - I think it quite of a bad adaptation of the book. The Perls of Being a Wallflower adaptation I really liked on the other hand.The book is psychological, and deeper, while they made the movie cheesy. Deep and meaningful parts of the story are taken away and filled with "fun" and "easy to watch" scenes. The beginning of the story is missing in the movie - Craig's life outside. This is covered later, in short bits in the movie, but I think the viewer should know in the beginning.Watching the movie kept realizing again and again that if I had not read the book I would have no clue about whats really happening around.I wanted to be told who Craig is and understand why he did what he did and how he ended up here. I wanted to know what was going on in his head. How thoughts rushed into the attention, spiraling and digging him deeper into a darker place. I wanted to see his struggle with his mind. His determination to kill himself again and again. I wanted to see his struggles with girls, and how it was an unexplored world for him that he explored first with Nia and then with Noelle. I wanted to see how he realized Nia was not right for him and told her so. Wanted to see Noelle's story and her struggles. Alas, I witness none of those and instead the screen time was filled with scenes of people running around, playing basketball, cheesy awkward conversations, puking, bad humor.Overall, I was disappointed.

studioAT This film is one of those lovely ones that quietly sneak up on you and by the time you finish it you know that you'll watch it time and time again.Based on a book that has become a bible for teens going through hard times this film captures the messages of it perfectly, and a strong cast bring it to life.There is so much warmth and charm here. Never does the film get too dark, or too funny, never does it say that mental health issues are ever going to be easy to break free from. It's an honest film, and that's why I like it.Yes, it's a quiet film. It's never going to be one that people in fifty years are talking about. But it's certainly one I recommend you seek out and watch.

theundefinedtheory I love how this movie not only makes you think about how fortunate you are, but also shows you how to deal with minor issues that have the potential to depress you.Zach plays his role so well that you can tell he has been through it all. His facial expressions are perfectly in sync with his role. Also, when the Egyptian guy finally breaks free and starts dancing to the Egyptian song definitely put a smile on my face - Being Egyptian myself I admired the scene and character greatly. I would definitely recommend this movie to you if you are looking for a laugh and a lesson on how to enjoy life more often.Favorite Quote:"God please grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

Irishchatter I'm actually glad to have not read the novel because I wouldn't waste my time reading something pointless. I thought the movie and the storyline had no meaning at all. Yes I know it's about a teenage boy admitting himself to a Mental Institution since he was unfortunately suicidal. I just think the actor who played him didn't seem interested in his role. He just didn't give that click to fall in love with the character enough. It made me think, why couldn't they have gotten an older actor playing the teenager? It would be totally different and a lot better since they would have more experience then a teenage actor. I don't think a love story would suit anything for this kind of movie, it just kinda holds me back on concentrating on the teen. He should've at least made a new friend and that would be more better then a love interest. I don't want to brag too much because it just didn't satisfy me at all. It is the worst adaption ever!
