Coming of age meets repressed emotions and love almost lost

Rating: 8/10 (18 November 2014)

How ironic is it that the mad girl from two and a half men plays a mad Aunt who causes almost irreparable damage to her nephew although what exactly she did do is a little sketchy. Not that it really matters, you kind of get the gist of the effect this has on the main character (Logan Lerman) as he struggles to make friends and find love. And love is what he does find - with Sam (the most superbly beautiful Emma Watson). Some may say that Logan bears a stunning resemblance to Amanda Bynes in her guise as a young man from that teen movie "She's the man". This is a wildly crafty movie that will hold you till the end. A little bit of the old college geek bully syndrome done to death but not enough to give this movie a thumbs down. Well worth a look and even worthy of any home movie collection with just the right mix of know actors and fresh new-comers.Yes we can be heroes. don't forget to see my 3D games reviews as the only 3D nVision reviewer on IMDb!
