About this movie

Wealthy teenager Charlie Bartlett (Anton Yelchin) is failing miserably at fitting in at a new public high school run by the world-weary Principal Gardner (Robert Downey, Jr.). As he begins to better understand the social hierarchy, Charlie's honest charm and likeability positions him as the resident "psychiatrist" dishing out advice, and the occasional prescription, to his fellow students in need. Along the way, he decides to take some of his own advice, thus wielding a witty dark comedy about the angst-filled years before college.

Wow I was so fantastic that interesting movie story talking about Charlie Bartlett, he did through horrible experience happened in private school kicked him out due to illegal action then transferred to the public school there few stranger kids bullied him because he say that rhetorical question of his implied criticism. He been lovely and couldn't making any friends until he finally discovered ADHD prescription its called Ritalin when psychiatrist therapist suggested him to taking higher overdose... At last resolution, he promise he never do stupid things again, become peaceful man. RIP Anton, everyone know that he's very good actor.
