Charlie Bartlett

ComedyDramaRomance97 min

Awkward teenager Charlie Bartlett is desperate to fit in at his new high school, so he reinvents himself as the campus therapist, handing out advice to classmates and, when he can, medication. Anton Yelchin is Charlie, a well-meaning schemer whose hunger for friendship turns a school bathroom into an unofficial counseling office. With Robert Downey Jr. and Kat Dennings in the mix, the film follows Charlie’s rise from outsider to unlikely confidant as his homemade solutions start brushing up against problems bigger than popularity.
