The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Drama, Teen
4.5 stars
Loved this movie! Based on the best selling novel. Logan Lerman (3:10 to Yuma and Percy Jackson) stars as an awkward high school freshman who befriends two misfit seniors, Emma Watson (Harry Potter) and Ezra Miller (City Island). Each of the kids, including those in their wider circle of friends, has personal issues they must deal with. Mostly quirky and upbeat, though there is one scene requiring tissues. This film has been described as the modern day Breakfast Club, but I think it way surpasses the older film which I loved back in the day. Now I have to read the book since it seems evident that there are more back stories that couldn’t fit into the film. Loved it!
