The Perks of being a Wallflower easily the breakfast club of it's time, might even be better. Charlie is just starting out in high school, still trying to get over his best friends death. His other friend doesn't want anything to do with him. He meets Patrick in his wood shop class and they hit it off. The acting from these teens is amazing, I could see them all at least being nominated for an Oscar. I don't know about the flaws in this film, when I first saw it I really wasn't expecting much, but what I got to see was10x's better then what I could expect.
