Movie Review: The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

I just saw The Perks Of Being A Wallflower and I personally loved it. In a nutshell, the movie is about a young man named Charlie who has gone through some rough things in the past and is entering high school as a freshman with no one to turn to. He meets some new friends that are seniors named Sam and her stepbrother Patrick. They introduce Charlie to a whole new world of friendship, sex, and drugs. Charlie and Sam develop a wonderful friendship that flourishes into something more where he learns a dark secret about his past that causes him to have a nervous breakdown. Luckily he has a good family and friends to turn to and help him through and he is able to help them in return. 

This movie is a semi-dark movie. If you are not into sex, drugs, and mental illness I would say steer away, but if you are one who goes for movies that resemble more of our real lives I would recommend this movie. It shows true friendship and that even when you are going through hell that life goes on and turns out better on the other side. We rented the movie off of Xfinity OnDemand, but I think Redbox has it as well. I would recommend this movie: I will watch it again and the acting is amazing. I say go check it out. 

I hope you all have an amazing Valentine's day; spend it with the ones you love!
