Product Description The Perks of Being a Wallflower is based on the wildly popular novel by Stephen Chbosky about a freshman named Charlie (Logan Lerman) who is always watching from the sidelines until a pair of charismatic seniors takes him under their wing. Beautiful, free-s pirited Sam (Emma Watson) and her fearless stepbrother Patrick (Ezra Miller) shepherd Charlie through new friendships, first love, burgeoning sexuality, bacchanalian parties, midnight screenings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the quest for the perfect song. desertcart.com The Perks of Being a Wallflower maintains the fine tradition of movies like Running with Scissors and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist in its savvy, sensitive telling of high schoolers coming of age and coming to terms. Though it enters some dark emotional territory as freshman Charlie (Logan Lerman) connects with a clique of older students, the smart sense of humor threaded throughout is as charming as the heavy stuff is powerful. Charlie enters high school with some serious yet indeterminate psychological problems that have clearly devilled him since childhood. We don't get to know about the extent of his difficulties until the movie's final scenes, but they've made it hard for him to find friends. A device that comes and goes is Charlie's voice-over of letters he's writing to an unknown and unnamed friend that describe the hard shell he's kept closed around himself. It all starts to change for Charlie--mostly for the better--when he hooks up with the eccentric, iconoclastic senior Patrick (Ezra Miller) and his popular step-sister Sam (Emma Watson). The energetic duo bring Charlie into their fold of friends and introduce him to a world outside himself that is probably exactly what he wanted, even though it's a place of loyalty, trust, and understanding that had previously been unimaginable in the small confines of his tortured head space. As with all friendships, there are rivalries, boundaries, rifts, and betrayals that ebb and flow as the school year unfolds. Charlie's inevitable breakdown and the healing that he experiences from having been exposed to such acceptance comes full circle in a neat little package at the end. But there's plenty of honesty, wit, and genuinely moving emotion expressed along the way. All the young actors commit fully to their well-drawn parts, especially the three leads. This may be the post-Potter role that breaks Watson free to revel in her talent, and Miller is a natural as a grown-up teenager who may have most of it figured out, even though the internal confusion he's tried so hard to bury still rears its head now and again. Set in the early '90s, the movie is tinged with peripheral period details that never overpower or insert themselves awkwardly into the action. Music is a big part of the characters' lives and is equally so in the spirit of the story. The writer-director is Stephen Chbosky, who adapted his own semiautobiographical young adult novel. He does right by his audience in presenting a movie that's fully adult and gets the little things right for anyone who is or ever was an angsty teenager embroiled in that horrible/wonderful search for self. --Ted Fry Review: The Perks of Being a Wallflower -may contain spoilers - I just finished watching this movie, and it was the best I've seen in a long time. The actors were perfect in their roles- Logan Lerman was stunning as Charlie, I don't think anyone could have portrayed him better. Ezra Miller also was perfect as Patrick, he played the part so well and put so much emotion into it. Logan Lerman made Charlie come alive. He really became Charlie for the movie, and showed his characters nerves, sadness, and other emotions so well. He made Charlie seem even more relatable in the film than he was in the book. Several parts of the film were different from the book. For example, Charlie seemed to have a better relationship with his sister, and his siblings had names, which they didn't in the book. The moments right before Charlie goes to the hospital were also different from the book, but I think they were done well. For me one of the saddest parts of the film was the way Patrick and Brad's relationship had to end. Their relationship in the movie stayed very true to the book, but it was difficult to see how sad their breakup made Patrick. Again, Ezra Miller was perfect in that role. I would give this movie more than five stars if I could! It really was that good. I will be watching it again soon. I hope that many people will watch or have already seen this film, because it is an excellent story with wonderful acting and teaches important lessons. Review: Three reads through 3 stages of my life, a different perspective each time. Always brilliant. - To say I loved this book would be an understatement. To say that this story opens your heart would not do it justice. Charlie's coming of age story of his life is a familiar one. You may not have been the super introverted teen but maybe you did possess some awkwardness. You may not have lost your best friend but perhaps you've been around death. You may not have been molested but you struggled with your emotions at some point. The point is, the story is so relevant that it can be tailored to any individual's life. I've experienced this novel three separate times across 3 stages of my life, having a different perspective each time. I've experienced this novel as an introverted high schooler, as a depressed adult in my early twenties, and then again right before I became a graduate student. I've since listened to the audiobook an additional three times and I've seen the movie more times than I can recall. The story can be heartwarming and yet concerning. At times you'll feel so empathetic for Charlie that your hear is tearing out of your chest. You can feel what he feels. And you want for him what you feel he's so deserving of. No matter what stage of your life you're in, whether you're 15 or 45, you can place yourself in a similar situation that will have its own consequences, it's own repercussions, or its own triumph. And you will become instilled which a greater self-confidence and apprecitation for what you're doing in your own life, or what you wish to achieve, or what you're trying to dig yourself out from. This story exudes a sense of clarity through you, and you recognize that as it slowly moves along.

I still find it weird that I went out my way and got this
I can't say how or what got me intrigued to remotely give this film a shot though I do know only a small portion of the cast. That doesn't necessarily change anything but regardless I do know that I wanted to give the film a shot and which I did. After the fact and after a few rewatches I find myself really liking the film. To appoint that I knew that if there was some extra opportunities I would indeed enjoy multiple viewings for this film so I felt right to getting this film. Plus a decent price tag and just having it on DVD just seems right rather than Blu-ray.

Teen Flick like they used to make
This film adaption is very faithful. Perhaps not so surprising because the author wrote and directed it! This is tremendously rare. It's unusual enough for an author to write his own adaption (I'm doing it for Untimed, but I'll dance the Snoopy dance if I can even get it produced, and set off fireworks if I land any kind of production roll. Actually directing it? That's a serious wet dream.) As a stand alone film, this is an excellent contribution to the teen angst drama. It's also funny at times. Not so much as the amazing Adventureland, but more serious and just different. Way better than the putrescent likes of Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. The acting is excellent. It's been obvious since Prisoner of Azkaban that Emma Watson would end up a serious babe. She's got looks, spunk, smarts, and charisma all locked down. Ezra Miller is also a standout as Patrick. The two of them have so much life in them that they overshadow Charlie -- he is, after all, a wallflower. Nina Dobrev (also a favorite of mine, but not as good an actress as Emma) has a small role as Charlie's sister. The part has a different feel than in the novel, nicer for the most part. Paul Rudd is good (albeit the part is a bit forced) as the teacher. The film doesn't go out of its way to reveal the time and place. As I saw it cold, not knowing anything about the story, I had to come to the gradual conclusion (based on music, costumes, lack of computers, etc) that this was the late 80s or early 90s. It was the presence of certain Nirvana songs that cinched the early 90s vibe. The film strips out a lot of little details about Charlie's family. This is to be expected, as in adaption, even of a short novel like this, something has to go. These changes thin out the parents and sister to cut outs. Sad, but there really isn't much else Chbosky could have done. He also stripped out most of the sexuality. A producer generated change? Probably, but the I liked the sudden dashes of it in the novel. A few of those tidbits stuck with me. But most importantly, the de-sexualization washed out the "twist." It was so subtly handled in the film for fear of offending that I half-missed it, only fully realizing after the credits. There are also subtle character shifts. Charlie is a little more passive and trending toward schizophrenic in the novel. Sam a little more broken in the film. The sister is meaner in the book (although she comes around). It's hard to say how much of this is in the writing and how much is what the actors bring to bear. Some characters, like Patrick (who really is a great character), come through 110%. Overall, if you like teen films (and I do), see this one. It's several standard deviations above the mean. Andy Gavin, author of The Darkening Dream and Untimed

Besser hätten die Darsteller gar nicht gewählt werden können. Jeder einzelne Darsteller passt perfekt zu den Figuren im Buch. Jeder spielt überzeugend und reißt einen mit. Die Geschichte selbst fängt an wie eine klassische Teenie-Komödie, doch das ist sie mitnichten. Der Text auf der Rückseite der DVD wird dem Film meiner Meinung nach nicht gerecht. Denn es geht hier um sehr viel mehr. Ein Film über Freundschaft. Liebe. Einsamkeit. Trauer. Verlust. Homosexualität. Drogen. Missbrauch. Familie. Angst. Depressionen. Selbstmord. Außenseiter. Alleinsein. Anderssein. Die Maske, hinter der man sich versteckt, um sein wahres Ich zu verstecken. Musik. Lebensfreude. Vielleicht lieber morgen ist nicht einfach eine Komödie und wer eine solche erwartet, wird sicherlich enttäuscht werden. Denn dieser Film hat Tiefgang. Er hinterlässt einen mit einem lachenden und einem weinenden Auge. Die Wendung am Ende des Films kommt unerwartet und ist auch nicht gleich offensichtlich. Ich habe mit verschiedenen Freunden den Film angeschaut und manche haben so wie ich sofort verstanden, was passiert ist, andere waren nach dem Film ratlos und fragten mich: "Was war denn das jetzt? Hab ich nicht verstanden..." Es ist kein einfacher Film. Ein Film, über den man nachdenken kann und muss. Der einen beschäftigt. Und der einen trotzdem nicht deprimiert, denn trotz des entsetzlichen Vorfalls entlässt uns Charlie mit positiven und mutmachenden Worten. Erwähnenswert finde ich auch den unglaublichen Soundtrack. Die Musik spielt in dem Film eine aktive Rolle, sie ist nicht nur als Beiwerk da, sondern ist ein richtiger Teil des Films. Und zwar ein sehr gelungener. Auch wenn es hauptsächlich "Oldies" sind, so passen sie perfekt und man möchte einfach nur laut mitsingen. Auch hier lohnt sich die Originalfassung in Englisch, auch wenn die deutsche Fassung durchaus gelungen ist. Lesenswert ist das Buch "Das also ist mein Leben" von Stephen Chbosky. Das Buch wurde im Film wirklich gut umgesetzt! Darsteller Logan Lerman: Spielt den schüchternen Charlie. Und ist schlichtweg perfekt darin. Er lässt einen mitfühlen, reißt einen mit in seine Gedanken- und Gefühlswelt und lässt einen nicht mehr los. Emma Watson: Spielt Sam. Aufgedreht. Verrückt. Und augenscheinlich voller Lebensfreude. Doch tief unter dieser Fassade steckt ein völlig anderer Mensch. Auch Emma Watson macht ihre Sache mal wieder sehr gut, man fühlt die innere Zerrissenheit, der Wunsch nach Liebe, die Traurigkeit regelrecht. Ezra Miller: Einfach nur perfekt für den aufgedrehten Patrick! Der schwule Stiefbruder von Sam ist äußerlich unverwundbar - der klassische Klassenclown. Doch innerlich schlummert ein sensibler Mensch, dem eben nicht alles egal ist. Und das spielt Ezra einfach perfekt. Fazit Einer meiner Lieblingsfilme, den ich immer wieder gerne auf deutsch oder auch auf englisch anschaue. Unbedingt sehenswert! Solange man keine gehaltlose Teenie-Komödie erwartet...

Un très beau film d’une grande sensibilité sur le monde de l’adolescence qui nous bouleverse et nous fait frémir d’émotions. Le personnage principal est très touchant. A l’heure de la rentrée au lycée, Charlie est introverti, petit pour son âge, intelligent et trop vite classé comme un potentiel boloss. Il se trouve rejeté par ses anciennes connaissances qui même sollicités ne veulent pas s’afficher avec lui. Il fera la connaissance d’un garçon et d’une fille de terminale qui l’accueilleront dans leur groupe, lui ouvriront les portes de leur monde et lui permettront de grandir. Ce film pour tout public est un petit bijou, un remède à la déprime que je vais sans doute voir et revoir et que je recommande vivement.

I absolutely LOVE this movie! I read the book first, and this was by far one of the best book-to-movie adaptations that I have ever seen! The cast, the story, the filmmaking...absolutely everything was perfect! I loved the book, so unsurprisingly, I loved the story that the movie shared just the same. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a touching story that draws you in and makes you feel! I couldn't help but relate to Charlie and feel for everything that he went through. His story was hard to get through at times, and it leaves you feeling for him, but I just loved Charlie so much. He's one of those characters that you just want to give a big hug to, and I loved seeing him get out there and make friends. And the friends he made were fantastic! I just loved this story, and the adaptation is perfection! I highly recommend it! :D
