MYST #1: The Perks Of Being a Wallflower


Back in freshman year we were told to choose two books to read for English 1. One of those books happened to be The Perks of Being a Wallflower and as I read through it I fell in love with the story of the shy, awkward boy whose name happened to be Charlie. After I finished reading the book I Wikipedia'd it and to my joy I saw that a film adaptation was being produced, so I waited, and waited for it to come out and then once it did, I didn't go see it, and alas I thought I would have to wait to catch it on TV at a later date but that would not be the case! On Christmas later that year I received a copy of Perks Of Being a Wallflower on DVD and immediately went to watch it in my room. Popping it into my DVD player I relaxed as I let the awesomeness start. Charlie is entering his first year of high school and with that, a problem arises for him, can he make friends with anyone other than his English teacher? Enter Sam (Played by Emma Watson) a beautiful, smart, and funny girl who instantly captivates Charlie and Patrick(Played by Ezra Miller) the flamboyant yet friendly brother of Sam. With these two new friends Charlie's life changes as new and old problems arise. Once I finished the movie the thought hit my head that this is a movie that every teenager should see, as it not only captivates that audience, it speaks to them.

I give this movie
5/5 Ezra Millers

  1. I love the way you describe the characters and while I was reading your review, I was smiling the whole way through it and I also feel as if every teenager should watch this film. Although, in my opinion as you keep watching this film, it begins to become sad and depressing. So once in a while with watching this film is good enough for me at least.
