Rarely
does an author get a chance to write and direct the movie of his own
book. The reason why is because it rarely turns out any
good. Stephen Chbosky just proved that assumption wrong.
This is a wonderful coming-of-age movie that surprises on so many levels. Charlie
is a shy and emotionally troubled teen who becomes fast friends with two older
high school teens, Sam (atha) and Patrick. They introduce Charlie to
their friends and before our eyes Charlie opens up, falling in love with Sam
and confronting a dark secret that he needs to confront if he’s ever to truly
mature. I’ve always felt a good book adaptation will make you
want to read the book and this is certainly the case. Grade: A
