2. Summary

   Very Good 3.5

   Kicked out of private school, Charlie works his charm (after a few bumps) at public school — eventually helping everyone discover the wonders of psychiatry… and drugs. This morphs in to a very funny parody of both high school shenanegans as well as the psycho-medical community — all with a refreshingly sarastic humor and a classic approach to to a great ending. Loved it!

4. Acting

   Great 4.0

   Tremendous acting by Anton Yelchin — who reminds me a little of Jim Carrey, but definitely unique with a more subtle and sarcastic approach.
   Robert Downy Jr was also very good as a lush single Principal, but with a thoughtfulness only a loving father could exhibit.
