Charlie Bartlett (2007)

Director: Jon Poll
Writer: Gustin Nash
Cast: Anton Yelchin, Kat Dennings, Robert Downey Jr., Hope Davis, Tyler Hilton
Genre: Comedy, Drama

Charlie Bartlett isn't as funny as they aim for, it's not as deep as the makers probably like to portray them self and most of all it's not as interesting as it might have been. Charlie's a rich kid with issues, kicked out of every private school around he now get to try the public school system. As his points of view doesn't exactly fit in, he has to play on his own strengths. Soon enough he is the students psychiatrist, prescribing and providing pills, giving advice at love life and so on.


The movie got its moments, but overall it's rather boring and uninspired. Dennings and Downey Jr. delivers as support, Yelchin isn's much of a lead and Davis and Hilton are at his level.
