Another shelf sitter...
The next film I chose was another dust collecting disc. I had purchased it to watch with my fiancee... until I found out she had already seen it... so it just sat there for a long time. Overall I had heard good things about the movie... but again just something I never got around to.
Through the entire film I was incredibly anxious and nervous... the film did a wonderful job of making me become emotionally invested in the story. I constantly had this overwhelming feeling of something awful or awkward was going to happen to Charlie, I definitely cared about his character, and all of the characters in the film.
So many coming of age, awkward high school teen movies, etc, are all so similar. This one was just so well done. Honestly I enjoyed it almost as much as The Way Way Back. I'm giving this one a higher rating because I think it was a little bit better done film, although I still rank TWWB a little higher in personal taste.
Anyhow, both are great films.
Most times I would feel that these particular type of movies are overly predictable... this one definitely was not, even though I thought I had this figured out... I didn't... Of course that could be because I was so invested in the film...
Just... Woah. What a great flipping movie.
Rating: 8/10
