5.0 out of 5 stars Making Good Movies Isn't Rocket Science For Director Jeffrey Blitz, 28 Nov 2008
By willow (The Universe) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rocket Science [DVD] [2007] (DVD)
'Rocket Science' is a sweet take on love, vengance, competition & triumph. Hal (played superbly by Reece Thompson) is the anti-hero of the film, he has a stutter but when given the opportunity to be on the debate team he joins with little hesitation. Then he falls for Jenny (Anna Kendrick) the beautiful girl that gets him on the team in the first place.
Now onto critique. There isn't really anything bad I could say about the film its all very well done, it manages to be funny & touching without being soppy.
Hal's love for Jenny is refrshingly innocent & genuine, its hard not to care about what happens to him.
One of the funniest characters in the film has to be Hal's much younger pervy little friend Lewis, who in one particular scene puts on a bra.

What's really nice about the film is the way Hal is portrayed, he feels isolated & misundertood & undervalued & the whole time watching the film I really wanted everything to turn out well for him.
From the director of Spellbound comes this poignant indie, that I would recommend to anyone who liked Thumbsucker & has a passion for odd ball comedies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little gems shine so much more, 9 May 2008
By L. Heaney "lh14" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Rocket Science [DVD] [2007] (DVD)
A warm, funny little film. It is a shame that good films can so easily vanish under the radar of mainstream culture whilst turds with a BIG campaign make money. This film is a superb comedy of the Wes Anderson school but with none of the slightly jarring self referential tones that Anderson churns out in all his films.
I really cannot praise this film enough, watch it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute, 14 Dec 2009
By C. Claunch "RAAAWR!!!" (Northampton UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Rocket Science [DVD] [2007] (DVD)
It's cute, really. Not as great as I thought it would be but cute.

Think of it as a 'beach novel' of the movie world. It's pleasant, but it stands to be easily forgotten if not careful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rocket Science, a smart teen movie!
We really enjoyed this Film. So refreshing to watch a teen movie that has smart, articulate, witty young people instead of the usual dummies portrayed in this genre. Read more
