Movie Review of Charlie Bartlett

Charlie Bartlett - 5/10
Directed by Jon Poll
Cast - Anton Yelchin, Robert Downey Jr

Plot Summary
A rich kid becomes the self-appointed psychiatrist to the student body of his new high school.

Review
Nothing fantastic about this movie to make u spend TEN FUCKING DOLLARS to watch it on a weekend. Charlie Bartlett does have a good plot and script, but the direction, camera works and editing is pretty much shit.
Some scenes has very obvious mistakes.
The acting is pretty mediocre, Robert Downey Jr is pretty good whereas Anton Yelchin does an average job as the lead but he ain't no Ferris Bueller, cause thats what this movie remind me off... a cross between Juno and Ferris Bueller's day off. My opinion is, the movie was a complete let down because of the director,as he doesn't have much experience (this is his third movie directing).
He needs to improve and not make too many mistakes if he wants to become the next John Hughes.
So my advice to you is... instead of spending ten dollars on watching this movie, spend it on renting Ferris Bueller's day off and Juno.
Trust me...its more worth it.
