Charlie Bartlett

Charlie Barlett is a coming-of-age tale about a teenager, new to public schools, who gains popularity when he attempts to be a psychologist to the troubled student body. Half comedy/half drama, this is funny and moving look into the problems life deals out. Once again, I am blown away by the phenomenal acting of Robert Downey Jr. Even though he only has a supporting role as the high school principal and father of Charlie's girlfriend, he brings so much power and emotion to the struggles that his character is forced to deal with. I suggest you add this to your list of DVD rentals.
