Longtime film editor Jon Poll (Meet the Fockers and Austin Powers in Goldmember) makes his directorial debut with this coming of age comedy about a wealthy public school system newcomer (Anton Yelchin) who wins over his skeptical classmates by serving as a surrogate psychiatrist to the troubled student body. Robert Downey, Jr., Hope Davis, and Kat Dennings co-star.

A new generation's Ferris Bueller. Smart, funny, interesting and a bit more emotional than Bueller this is a film that almost anyone will enjoy. Anton Yelchin gives a great performance as the quirky and somewhat lost/out of place Charlie Bartlett. His ascension in maturity as he realizes the true value of his popularity power is what really makes this movie hit. Especially as you're able to watch the progression between him and Downey Jr.

Wow was this movie amazing. Downey was just incredible, and Yelchin came on with a personality that shocked us all. A great movie, and a little more intense than you would think.

I wish I hadn't waited so long to watch this movie. It was already mentioned, but Downey and Yelchin gave great performances. And Anton Yelchin and Kat Dennings are on my list of actors/actresses to keep an eye out for.
