Kat Dennings has great tits. I think I've said this in every review of every movie I've seen her in. But it's true. She's pale as ballsacks, and her teeth suck, but damn she has great tits.
This movie would surprise me and then humiliate me alternatively between scenes. It w...( read more) -

Charlie Bartlett is a teen angst movie that you have to appreciate.
Anton Yelchin is perfect as Charlie Bartlett. He is a cross between Ferris Bueller and Max Fischer. He's your High School tamborine man, your boys room therapist Dr. Feelgood.
I love movies that have Robert Dow...( read more) -

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 i...( read more)

Another film set in a high school that defies logic. It has tons of emotion, which went awry as often as it hit the mark. There also isn't as much humor as I'd expected, though Tyler Hilton did supply some quality moments. Mostly this movie is about showcasing the amazing talents...( read more)
Critic Reviews
Charlie Bartlett is a refreshingly entertaining character study that refuses to dumb down its youthful cast or bury their concerns in service of a catchy soundtrack. full review
The film feels like an old person's notion of how young people live. full review
Anton Yelchin gives a performance here that's way beyond his years. full review
It's cornball, derivative, and full of clunkers, but the teen comedy Charlie Bartlett has a core of authenticity. full review
