Although Robert Downey Jr only plays a supporting role in this film it is worth watching for the comedy in his scenes alone. He plays the part of the school principal and father to Kat Dennings' character who slowly loses control of his school and life sinking ever more towards alcoholism.
The rest of the film is fun if fairly standard teen comedy involving the usual loves and drugs (prescription for a change).
Good light fun. Well worth a watch.

Charlie Bartlett (Anton Yelchin - Huff) is a rich young man, who goes to a private school. He's very boisterous, and causes problems. His latest scam leads him to be suspended, so he has to go to public school. There he's disliked, he doesn't fit in, wearing a suit while everyone else is in casual wear; so he decides he wants to be popular; so he starts his own psychotherapy office in the school.
This is a great movie, which looks deeply at teenage angst and how young people have issues, from confusion, depression to just nervousness. I thought it was great the way Charlie really cared about his new found friends - and how he set about getting them their medication. Robert Downey Jr was perfect as the disgruntled alcoholic principle; desperate to keep Charlie from his daughter. I really didn't think much of Hope Davis though as Charlie's mother, though the character was weak and we didn't really get much of an insight into her life. I also like the suspension built around Charlie's father; added that extra edge to this.
Well worth watching again, though the extras are poor - we get a Charlie Bartlett Confessionals vignette - where people just sit on the toilet telling Charlie their problems. There's a music video, and that's about it. Thankfully there is commentary, but otherwise that's it. The 5.1 mix was bad too, the dialogue's volume was poor and I had to have my TV volume up pretty loud. Thankfully the music isn't too loud either so it's not like it will deafen you when it kicks in, like some mixes I have seen before. The picture is good with little problems I could see.
Worth giving this a go, I think I'll watch it again pretty soon.

When i seen this film in the cinema i thought it was an instant classic. i mean what a cast Robert Downey Jr is excellent(he always is), Anton Yelsin is brilliant and the rest are excellent. but if like me you dont go to see a film for the acting then your in luck this is a brilliant film, totally class, an instant classic. definately recommended if teen dramadies are films you like

Very honest, witty and therefore very funny. I think a lot of teens can relate to how the characters feel.
