Charlie Bartlett

Yelchin is their Ferris Bueller—and Downey Jr. the world's friendliest Mr. Rooney...

Despite his life of privilege, the boy doesn’t have the things he really wants - the things every teenager wants - security and popularity.

Almost everything in Charlie Bartlett is based on successful teen comedy formulas of the '70s, '80s and '90s...

...a clever, inventive and ambitious comedy with echoes of Rushmore, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and even Harold and Maude.

While masquerading as the offspring of Rushmore and Ferris Bueller, it is ultimately far closer to being the bastard lovechild of American Pie and Analyze This.
