Charlie Bartlett

Charlie Bartlett - Dir. Jon Poll (2008)

Neurotic rich boy gets kicked out of fancy pants academy. Sent to public school and becomes de factor psychologist.

Like the lead character this film is a little too smug and assure of itself. Familiar, yet passable, high school dramedy.

Worth noting mainly for a strong performance by Robert Downey Jr. His turn as an alcoholic principal makes my mouth water at what he'll bring to the table for Iron Man 2 ("Demon in a Bottle~!").
