    Charlie Bartlett is a good movie, nothing spectacular but it fulfilled my expectations very well. It is a very well written comedy with the perfect amount of drama. It is funny but not because its full of jokes or gags, the humor of this movie is a consequence of the situations in it. The plot about a wealthy teen (Yelchin) goes to a new public high school and ingratiates himself into its social fabric by using his charm to become the school's resident "psychiatrist" is good, its like a glimpse of how teenagers live nowadays. The cast composed entirely by young actors with the exception of Downey Jr. is good and they acted well. Robert Downey was good, Anton Yelchin in the role of Charlie, his performance was great. He was a excellent complement for Downey Jr. The rest of the cast like Kat Dennings and Hope Davis were a great support for the movie. In conclusion, this is an entertaining movie that is worthy just to watch Downey Jr. and Yelchin acting together.

    Charlie Bartlett: "This place sucks. But I just worry that one day we're gonna look back at high school and wish we'd done something different."

    The greatest 97 minutes of my life...

    I'm so related to the main character in so many ways that seeing this (for the third time now) with my mom getting pissed off everytime Hope Davis appeared on screen (because she KNOWS just how similar we are to them in real life) is both weird, unconfortable and extremely hilarious.

    I'm absolutely madly in love with this movie.

    *Review coming soon*

    I've been waiting FOREVER to see this movie. My video store didn't have it and the RedBox didn't have it. But no fear I finally saw it and now I'm SO glad I did.

    Charlie Bartlett is a similar movie to Juno in my opinion. It takes real people and puts them into real issues. Charlie Bartlett is so relative in so many ways. It's a great teen movie. YAY Charlie Bartlett.

    Unsurprising wit accompanied by wisdom you'd extract from any pill-popping, dysfunction-facilitating, self-obsessing American family. It's a tired storyline. Few nice moments. Not even RDJ would make me want a second viewing.

    Despite what the people say, I thought that this was a very good telling of high school life. There are lots of problems in a teen's life that people just seem to ignore. I think this is a good depiction.

    These Wes Anderson rip off films have to stop. Go watch Rushmore, you will feel much better.
