The Perks of Being a Wallflower | 2012 | USA | Stephen Chbosky

6 / 10



“Things change. And friends leave. Life doesn't stop for anybody.” Neither for this movie.

   What a fabulous title for such a poor movie! This movie is so overrated it's painful. It makes me wonder what's all the fuss about?

    First of all you can not think vinyl is better and not know David Bowie? 

   Second,, from all the Bowie songs they could have chosen from they chose Heroes!?! Seriously, leave Heroes alone. That song saw its expiration date as a movie soundtrack in Moulin Rouge 13 years ago. 
    The Perks of Being a Wallflower is, wait, let me say this ten times since it's the only decent thing about the movie: The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. OK, now The Perks of Being a Wallflower is just another movie about a troubled teen that wants to be accepted: unpopular kid, makes new friends, loses them, wins them back before the end. There you go.The movie is one dimensional and flat and the characters are dull. It's also pretentious regarding subjects everyone was over with 20 years ago.

   Now seriously, this movie is not worthwatching unless its a Sunday afternoon, you're alone, its on national tv (and you don't have cable) and you have a bunch of clothes to iron.
