Author Topic: The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012) Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 10-14-2012 04:29 PM                        CINEMA: Megaplex at the District, South Jordan, UT AUDITORIUM: 2 PRESENTATION: Dolby Digital Cinema (2K) PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: None RATING: Four stars (out of four) Girls two rows back: "We made it!" "Yeah." "And we got our seats!" "Yeah." "And we can actually talk to each other." "Yeah." Yeah. Gonna be one of THOSE shows. THE PLOT: Being a freshman sucks. Wackiness ensues. Well, it's got all your stereotypical outcast characters. The freshman, the weird friends, the gay guy, the cool teacher, and what not. And they're packaged in a story I fell hook line and sinker for. They did everything right here. Completely freaking awesome.  |  IP: Logged Mike Croaro Master Film Handler Posts: 394 From: Millbrae, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 10-14-2012 07:27 PM                     Greetings! I also saw the movie last week, at the Embarcadero Cinema in San Francisco. This theatre caters to adults only. You never see any teenagers here. And that makes the theatre just that much better. The crowd for this show ranged from 40-is to grey haired patrons. Very good movie. Very engaging. I completely enjoyed the movie. Perhaps one of the best indie films this year.

It was so sweet and so honest. I actually remembered what it was to be young, when every experience is new and everything is the most important thing. In terms of sheer emotional involvement, it is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.  |  IP: Logged Mike Croaro Master Film Handler Posts: 394 From: Millbrae, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 11-10-2012 12:00 PM                     I suspect many adults will look at the ad in the paper, and dismiss the film as your typical teenage romp. No so. An excellent movie for all ages.

Definitely in my top ten of the year.  |  IP: Logged
