Another Typical Disturbing Romance Drama...

Rating: 6/10 (17 December 2012)

So, you will LOVE this movie if you are a romance type; if you like movies which depict a love triangle; if you love romantic comedies WHICH give out the same clichéd moral: Love is epic and if you think you are in love, say it!
Well, TPOBAW is yet another romantic comedy, only coming-of-age set in the 90s and which deciphers a romance symphony with a bunch of famous soundtracks; it shows you a story of a person who is not desperate, though he metamorphoses from an introvert to an extrovert. Here, the chief rule was forgotten, that you deal with an introvert how you SHOULD deal with an introvert. It failed to charm me because when I am looking for something new, out-of-the-box, groovy, miraculous plot, TPOBAW gives you the expected cup of coffee (or latte). The soundtrack is the best thing about this movie; the screenplay is great so is the direction. And the cast is the cherry on top.
Bottom line: The Perks of Being A Wallflower is NOT EPIC. If it gets an Oscar, I'll be damned. But, it is a great winter blizzard.
WATCH OUT FOR: Logan Lerman's splendor.
Language: Mild Sex: Not really; Foreplay yes Nudity: No Violence: No Mouth-Kiss: Plenty
