About this movie

A funny and touching coming-of-age story, THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER is a modern classic that captures the dizzying highs and crushing lows of high school. Freshman Charlie (Logan Lerman) is a perpetual wallflower until he falls under the spell of the beautiful, free-spirited Sam (Emma Watson) and her fearless stepbrother, Patrick (Ezra Miller); together, the trio navigates love, loss, fear, hope - and the quest for the perfect song - in this unforgettable adaptation of Stephen Chbosky's beloved novel.

A work of art and a poem on screen. Part of me wonders if this film will be shown in media literature classes in the future. So eloquent and beautiful, and the plot was so cleanly executed.

This is my favorite movie ever. This might sound like I am being to nice but I'm not. I have read the book and the movie does a great job sure theres a few changes but you can't fit the whole story into one movie. The main charecter Charlie reminds me so much of myself, and we have been through the same stuff and for me seeing everything that happens to him makes me have so much hope for my life. He made so I can too.

I felt every emotion duing this movie. Absolutely one of my favorites. I wished I had watched it sooner than later, as I can relate, it would have probably helped me through my high-school years. The actors played their roles beautifully. The reviews are correct, this movie is amazing. I'm still crying while writing this, but in a happier way? Just knowing someone created a storyline so relatable to my own makes me feel like we are not alone, there's others who have experienced this.Watch it!
