Story: Charlie Bartlett has been kicked out of every private school he ever attended. And now that he's moved on to public school, he's simply getting pummeled. But when Charlie discovers that the kids who surround him--the outcast and the popular alike--are secretly in desperate need, his entrepreneurial spirit takes over.
Review: I was hoping for something different and refreshing. Not so much. It was as if, Ferris Bueller crashed into Lloyd Dobler and Charlie Bartlett was born with some hard, not to miss defects. If that is what the studio was shooting for, they missed terribly. Don't get me wrong, the movie is enjoyable to some extent, but it's no "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," or anything remotely close to it. It's also a shame to see Robert Downey, Jr. in such a sell out role. Best watched on DVD.
