Welcome to the Island of misfit toys

Rating: 9/10 (21 October 2015)

I loved this movie. Throughout this movie I always felt happy-ish, but at the same time sorta sad. I think I felt connected to the main character Charlie (played by Logan Lerman). Logan portrayed Charlie perfectly.
All of the characters came with a background, making all of them interesting, and very different. Each character brings something new and fresh to the table, and all important to the story.
The Perks of being a Wallflower takes you into the life of a freshman whose best friend had just killed himself. Already before that he had quite a nasty past. His past has affected him tremendously, and he really struggles in social situations. Needless to say, he is very nervous about his first day of high school. Eventually he makes friends with two seniors, Patrick (Ezra Miller) and Sam (Emma Watson) who change his life.
This movie would be classified as a Drama and Romance. What I like is that it isn't the type of drama that leaves you feeling depressed for the rest of the day, and the romance isn't the icky sort of romance where they are making out all the time. The romance is on a deeper level. You can see the connection between Charlie and Sam.
I thought this was a really good movie, with a strong storyline and brilliant characters. I would definitely recommend it to anyone!
