The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I would suggest you watch the movie before reading this (because of spoilers) but if you don't want to then just read it anyway. I don't care.
For a short summary, I'm just gonna copy and paste the Wikipedia entry.
"Socially awkward teen Charlie (Logan Lerman) is a wallflower, always watching life from the sidelines until two charismatic students become his mentors. Free-spirited Sam (Emma Watson) and her stepbrother Patrick (Ezra Miller) help Charlie discover the joys of friendship, first love, music and more, while a teacher sparks Charlie's dreams of becoming a writer. However, as his new friends prepare to leave for college, Charlie's inner sadness threatens to shatter his newfound confidence."
Anyone who says this isn't a good movie, needs to bippity boppity back the heck up, right out of my life. This movie is a love triangle between a gay guy, Hermione Granger, and Percy Jackson. I honestly don't know what more a person can want.
It's almost like Percy Jackson before he became Percy Jackson. Or if he never became so. Then you got "hey, isn't that Hermione? Dang, she got hot af" And finally, "Hey, that guy is cute as hell, oh wait, he's gay? Damn it."
And the main character, Charlie is weird in the beginning. Like, Okay this is going to be a boring movie if the main character never talks to anyone other than like family. And he's typing on a typewriter. Like most kids today have never even seen a typewriter in real life, and the movie has this kid just typing on one for real. Like he has a phone. He has a computer too I'm pretty sure it shows in the movie. Why is he typing on a typewriter? I still don't really understand that aspect of the movie. Just aesthetics I guess?
So you get into the movie and Charlie starts talking to Patrick (Or Nothing, as some of the kids called him) I was always a Charlie and Patrick shipper. Especially after Patrick kissed Charlie in that one scene. Oh goodness, I was hoping and praying that movie ended with Charlie turning gay and getting with Patrick.
But Charlie ends up dating that one weird chick that I really didn't like. It's not hard to see he didn't like her though. Like everyone was super surprised when they found out but I don't understand why since it was so obvious? Maybe its just because of how he told the group. Since he didn't really tell the group.
The Scene: The whole group is playing Truth or Dare.
Charlie:
Truth.
(I just copy and pasted that part from the actual movie script.)
So he's faking to like Mary Elizabeth to fit in. That's cool, whatever. But that's already pretty bad on its own. So he then goes and kisses that chicks best friend in front of all their friends? Like even the movie itself made a comment of how that's not right. (Thank you, Patrick)
So he finally has some friends, but screws up so bad he loses all of them. Great.
You then see some pretty depressing stuff, Charlie ends up in the hospital, blah blah blah. Then the movie ends with everyone friends again the whole happily ever after. Yay.
And I'm going to go ahead and make this a GIOTF because why not?

PATRICK
How is your first relationship going?
CHARLIE
It's so bad that I keep fantasizing that
one of us is dying of cancer, so I don't
have to break up with her.
PATRICK
Charlie? Truth or dare?
Charlie blinks. It was all fantasy.
Charlie
Dare.
PATRICK
I dare you to kiss the prettiest girl in
the room on the lips. Notice I
charitably said girl and not person
because let's face it... I'd smoke all
you bitches.
Alice hits him. Laughter. Charlie thinks. He looks at Mary
Elizabeth, then turns to Sam. Before Sam can even react...
Charlie plants a kiss right on her lips. When he opens his
eyes, he looks around, and realizes the magnitude of his
mistake. Everyone stares. After a horrible silence...
PATRICK (CONT'D)
Now that's fucked up.
