Adapted from the
best-selling novel by Stephen Chbosky.
Charlie is 15 years old and he is dreading going back to high school of
1991. He’s a shy outsider and he
wonders if he will ever have any friends or will he be a lunch loner all
year. He meets Patrick and his
stepsister Sam, Patrick is definitely not an outsider and neither is Sam. Charlie wants to be a writer and his
favorite teacher is his literature teacher. Everything starts to go well until he begins dating Sam’s
friend Mary Elizabeth.
There is a veiled secret throughout this
film that you don’t find out about until almost the end. There are some hints along the way but
they seem just thrown out there in passing so you cannot connect the dots. This is a drawback plus it is definitely geared for a high school audience. My next question is how did everyone get so polished? 3* (This movie is OK)
