What's a preppie to do when he's been expelled so many times his mom decides he's going to have to cut it in the public system? Charlie (Anton Yelchin) doesn't have an axe to grind, but... read more »

Rated - 4 starsRich kid vs. high school, good effort!

A customer from Shropshire , 21/05/2008

Saw this in the cinema, and although i was dissapointed to be one of only two people watching i certainly wasnt disappointed by the film!!!

I can't say I'm a fan of Anton Yelchin (charlie), after seeing him in Fierce People I was well aware and slightly agitated by his strangley grainy pubescent voice but I think Fierce People is a big step forward for him even though he's cast in a simalar role. He even manages to maintain chemistry with Kat Dennings, which is no mean feat considering her range mainly involves pouting. Man of the moment (Ironman) Robert Downey Junior is back on form too, playing the jaded headteacher. He's undeniably charismatic and creates a great portrait of his character. Overall this film was a good indie all rounder, hilarious at times but touching and meaningful at others. Can't say its going to be the most memorable rich kid vs high school effort but its certainly worth a watch.

If you loved Harold and Maude, Fierce People or Igby Goes Down then this worth a go!
