Charlie Bartlett Movie Review

Thursday, 21 February 2008
A Ferris Bueller for the new millennium.
“Charlie Bartlett”
MGM Pictures
Directed by Jon Poll
Starring Anton Yelchin, Hope David, Kat Dennings, Tyler Hilton and Robert Downey, Jr.
Rated R
3 Stars
“Charlie Bartlett” is one of the more-appealing teen comedies that I’ve seen in quite some time. It features some very charismatic actors in the major roles and a story that pulls off the trick of being relevant to today’s youth without turning into a preachy After School Special. It’s equal parts satire and hormonal melodrama. Teenagers should get a real kick out of this film.
Not so fast. “Charlie Bartlett” is inexplicably rated R, which means that the teens who will like the film won’t be able to see it, while full-grown adults will skip it because they won’t care about Charlie Bartlett’s high school adventures. Somebody in the marketing department clearly didn’t think this one through.

Sean the Movie Guy's Oscar Picks

I think that the Best Picture statue will go to my number one film of
2007, “No Country For Old Men.” Joel and Ethan Coen will ride the wave
of good will and gather the Best Director and Adapted Screenplay
prizes. Javier Bardem is a lock in the Supporting Actor race, and
editing prize will make five wins for “No Country.”
