Monday Movie Madness - The Perks of Being a Wallflower Review

Movie: The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Time Length: 1 hr 43 mins
Rated: M
Who Stars in it? Emma Watson (Hermione from Harry Potter), Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson & the Olympians)
My Rating: 8/10
Type of Movie: heartfelt movie with romance and comedy elements
Comments: It wasn’t the usual Blockbuster movie, this was a movie with a bit more heart. It made me laugh, it made me cry. It was about a young boy struggling with depression and trauma, who tries to make friends at a new school. Normally, I would say this is aimed at teenagers, but this movie is great for adults too. I really, really enjoyed this film.
Should I wait for it to come out on DVD? Absolutely. It’s the type of movie that would be great to watch at home – there is no special effects, etc that make it worthwhile for the big screen.
Cons of the movie: Made me cry.
You would like this movie if you liked… The Intouchables
Do not watch this movie if… you don’t have an emotional side or don’t like Emma Watson with short hair.
