Charlie Bartlett

This movie is about a teenage boy from a dysfunctional family that attends public school after being expelled from yet another private school. In order to make friends in his new environment, he begins holding therapy sessions in a school bathroom and providing prescriptions to treat various mental disorders. He eventually admits to boyh himself and others that he is only a kid and not able to adequately deal with his own problems let alone those of others.

I was greatly looking forward to this movie, and it did not disappoint. Anton Yelchin did a lovely job portraying Charlie. He was able to get across the struggles of living a priveliged teenage life without becoming obnoxious like some real life wealthy teenagers. Kat Dennings was once again wonderful, although she seems to always play the same character, and that seems to be closely related to herself. Robert Downey Jr. had another excellent performance, and I wish he had more screen time.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, for it had a little of everything. It had enough laughs to keep you entertained, some drama and some suspense. I was rooting for Charlie, and was happy with the way things turned out.
