Movie Excitement: Charlie Bartlett

Alright, what do you get when you take a high school kid who doesn't really fit in and is victim to over protective parents who send him to a therapist, then mix in his desire to help fellow classmates while attending a high school which drive him nuts? Charlie Bartlett... that's what you get. I have to admit, I thought this movie had already come and gone from theaters... I in fact added it to my netflix quene... wondering when it would be coming out on DVD. The film stars Anton Yelchin known for his role in Alpha Dogg, and playing the song of the protaganist in the Showtime Original series "Huff" (Showtime? HBO? I dunno). It looks to be a funny story following the high-schooler who decides to open his own psychiatrist office in the boy's bathroom, and uses his own therapist to prescribe him the medications for his "patients".

The story seems good, and with what I've seen of Anton, the acting looks promising. Also making appearances are Robert Downey Jr. and Barrack Obama.

Just kidding about Obama
