    First-rate movie!

    by Neutron Man

    I don't often find movies that I would consider watching a second time, but this one qualifies.
    I really liked the development of the characters throughout the movie, and the themes dealing with starting high school, high school relationships, and messed up parents/relatives are easily relatable to real life.
    I took my 12 year old to see it, but he is a pretty sophisticated and mature movie-goer, and I wouldn't recommend this movie for anyone under the age of 16 due to the mature themes and drug use in the movie.

    Go, go and go, share the love, learn from this...so many

    by setmedic

    Have experienced this and MORE, so how being bullied can be tuff and molested(by a close relative, not by a dirty old man with a bag of candy). Take friends, NOT for young kids. Enjoy

    Teenagers should see this!

    by suemarie

    Fantastic movie about teenagers during the school year. It shows how difficult it can be to be different and to try to make friends. The main character has a heartbreaking story and he finds help from his new friends.
    The soundtrack is great and Paul Rudd has an uncredited role as a teacher we all wish we had.
    Good for all ages over 10 or so.

    Brilliant, touching movie about coming of age in highschool

    by Billy Moviegoer

    Oscar worthy performance by Logan Lerman. The nuanced range of emotions he conveys is exceptional. His mental breakdown scene is completely convincing. Other strong performances by Emma Watson and Ezra Miller

    Perks of being a wall flower

    by berryboy316

    Well directed, well acted. Good portrayal of student life in upper middle class high school. Treatment of gay behavior was spot on and refreshing. Good show.

    Perks of a Great Movie

    by YourMom2007

    This is probably one of the best movies I have ever seen. The acting was terrific and it followed the book very well. I hope it wins some sort of award, the movie and the actors really deserve it.

    Amazing Illustration of Adolescence

    by

    I knew very little about this movie before seeing it, but it sounded interesting so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm glad I did.

    This is one of the most REAL movies I've seen about teen life. From the opening moment, I identified completely with Charlie. I remembered well the painful days of being a high school misfit and all the drama that comes with being an adolescent.

    The plot and characterization is wonderful and I loved the story within the story about Charlie's past and what's bothering him. The use of flashback to gradually reveal what's going on allowed us to break down along with Charlie and really experience his inner world. The film also had a good balance of humor despite its overall darkness. The theme's overall theme about the importance of self-esteem and love make it not only a powerful film but also an uplifting one.

    Not your regular teen movie ...

    by

    This movie is a well executed masterpiece!
    The acting is first rate, the characters are wonderful, the sense of being in their time and place is well executed, and we get to see Emma Watson outside of her well known movie character.
    The three main leads are just beyond anything I was prepared to expect. Sure, I went to the film to see Emma Watson but I was treated to so much more. I will see this film again too. And I will watch for more films with all three leads too. As Fandango says ....This film is a MUST GO>

    by ampoladevin

    The Perks of Being a Wallflower is honestly one of the best movies I have ever seen. It didnt been special effects or anything like that. It was so true to the teenage experience. So relatable to many people. Just a beautiful movie that changed me. I didnt want it to be over. Powerful beyond words. Cannot wait to read the book! PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!

    worth it

    by

    I loved this book and read it several times in high school. I was apprehensive about seeing this movie because I knew it would never compare to the book. There were only minor differences between the two. Great movie!!

    Great Adaptation

    by izzepie

    This movie was exactly what I wanted it to be from the book. All of the essential points from the book were very well incorporated. I absolutely loved this movie. Definitely a must see, but I would advise reading the book before hand.

    So much love for this movie

    by megg802

    This book means more to me than I could ever say and the movie lived up to every expectation I had and more. The Perks of Being a Wallflower was more perfect that I could have ever imagined. Ineffably beautiful.
