This movie reminds me strangely of the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower.

Anyone else agree? It's the movie Charlie Bartlett, and I think it's a great fun teen movie.

You know, the best kinds.



Murphey Bivens: I'll see you in the sequel, *****!

Charlie Bartlett: I'm just a stupid kid.

Principal Gardner: Charlie, there are more important things than popularity!
Charlie Bartlett: Like what? Cause I'm seventeen. And right now, popularity's pretty damn important!
Principal Gardner: Like what you do with that popularity

Charlie Bartlett: Well duh dude, 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.

Charlie Bartlett: Viagra! Virgin! Vino! Vagabond! Vagina!
[taps head with right hand on each word]

Dr. Stan Weathers: You don't feel normal?
Charlie Bartlett: My Family has a psychiatrist on call, how normal can I be?

Marilyn Bartlett: Well maybe there's more to high school than being well liked.
Charlie Bartlett: Like what specifically?
Marilyn Bartlett: [thinks for a second] Nothing comes to mind.

Principal Gardner: Everybody needs to vent a little now and again, don't you figure? Some of us are privileged enough to vent to you in the boys' room stalls and the rest of us have to settle for less conventional methods. Like, I don't know a bottle of booze and a handgun.
[gun goes off]
Charlie Bartlett: Ahh!
Principal Gardner: God, I'm sorry I'm not putting you on edge with my behavior now am I?

It really reminds me of Perks though. Maybe because his name is Charlie too? I don't know. I don't know but it's great to me all the same.
