GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

norahfields There are so many kids out there trying to make the world a better place, trying to save people and do everything in their power to just give everyone a voice. It's important that these wonderful teenagers are reminded that they are just kids, they shouldn't have to be therapists and they shouldn't have the responsibility for someone's life and I think this movie tells that story really well.Gustin Nash has written a heartfelt story and shows a knack for one liners, but Jon Poll's film technique falls a little short as the images to the words doesn't add to them enough.It's a great film and I recommend watching it when you're feeling nostalgic or you need a cheering up, but this is not a go to film for when you want to experience a slap of pure cinema.

SnoopyStyle Charlie Bartlett (Anton Yelchin) is a smart rich kid who is new to public school. He's been kicked out of every private school. His father is in prison. He gets picked on but feels above it all. He doesn't fit in until he starts selling his prescriptions to his fellow students. He starts diagnosing them as a self-proclaimed doctor. His mother (Hope Davis) is a mess. Susan (Kat Dennings) is principal Nathan Gardner (Robert Downey Jr.)'s daughter.I'm not usually a fan of Anton Yelchin. He always has a bit of a smirk. That's what comes across with this Charlie Bartlett. He's a bit smug and it's not appealing. He feels above everybody else. If you do it like Ferris Bueller, it's fun. This is not that. I suppose it's a smirky indie. It has its moments. It's nothing hilarious but I did smirk once or twice.

laraliu10 No spoilers in this part, no worries I'll warn you. K so I really can't describe to you how much I hated this movie. It was just so bad, which is a shame cause Anton yelchin is cute. Basically this movie is about a kid named Charlie(yelchin) who's goal in life is to be popular and have a girlfriend, even though hes unexplainably rich. His mom (Davis) is sort of funny, that's why it has 1 star. He gets a reality check in public school after being kicked out of private for making fake IDs. He gets a psychiatrist and decides to become the school psychiatrist having appointments in the girls, bathroom. Then he relays symptoms to his psychiatrist after reading a book ( cuz now he knows everything!) and the psychiatrist prescribes him drugs, that he gives to the kids at school. He basically starts a black market in he school and gains what he always wanted love and worshipers. Sounds good to you, funny maybe??? NOT. I thought the plot was stupid, but if you thought that sounded good it's not even funny. This movie actually sucks. If you ever have a chance to see it, don't. 1 star for Davis and Downey Jr. Even the they really only deserve half a star......Spoilers!!! In case your really not convinced this movie sucks, here are some reasons why: it gets so confusing when Charlie is arrested, the psychiatrist is an idiot, too many pointless scenes (and his movie was only an hr and a half), and the end it seems like Charlie starts a revolution or something, and I couldn't figure out if Charlie's dad was dead or in jailBye

Lloyd Bayer If you cried over Anton Yelchin in "Alpha Dog", you will most probably adore him as Charlie Bartlett. As the title character, he plays a rich kid with a fantasy of becoming the most popular student in high school. The means he adopts to achieve this goal often gets him expelled from exclusive private schools. The most recent being mass production of fake driver's licenses. His aristocrat mother (Hope Davis) is left with no choice but to send him to the community public school. At first he suffers a culture shock and even painfully faces the school bully, an act that is now cliché in high school related films. A black eye later, Charlie decides to handle the situation himself, by setting up a make-shift stall handing out prescription medication and counseling those in need. This stunt not only makes him highly popular over night, yet wins the affection of the principal's daughter, much to the dismay of the principal himself thereby becoming Charlie's only opposition.A thin line exists between comedy and drama as the film deals with common high school issues like bullying, acceptance versus depression, peer pressure and ultimately parent-child relationships. It also deals with the modern crisis of unchecked domestic drug usage and substance abuse.In what seems like a career boosting role, Yelchin even sures Robert Downy Jr as Principal Gardner, exhibiting a variety of skills in singing, dancing and comedy, even show casing his abilities in fight scenes along side romance. Downey Jr accurately portrays an over protective father struggling to raise a defiant teenager while giving in to alcoholism, a parallel reality he is said to have finally overcome.This film will appeal to mature teenagers, though parental caution is recommended. Parents too can learn a thing or two about what their kids are capable of, if things go unsupervised. At the core, "Charlie Bartlett" is a heart felt story that transcends Yelchin from a child actor into bigger roles as an adult.
