Scope Special Edition: The Perks of Being a Wallflower Review
September 28, 2012 | Posted by: The Scope
What’s more fun than a summer movie preview? How about a fall movie preview? It’s a little something we’re dubbing “The Scope Autumn Film Blast.”
Yes indeed, Jared and Shane find their way into a theater (seasons be damned) to check out a screening of Stephen Chbosky’s The Perks of Being a Wallflower. For those of you who don’t know, Chobs (as we like to call him) wrote the Wallflower book in 1999 and now he’s back, like a Terminator, as both screenwriter and director of the adaptation.
Boy oh boy, did he nail it. No sarcasm, cynicism, or pseudo-hipster angst here. (Thank god Adam didn’t see this film.) This might be one of the best teen-coming-of-age films since a little-known underground filmmaker named John Hughes was making movies about Saturday morning detention sessions.
Take a listen to the review, bask in the first ever perfect Scope Score, and then see this movie. Seriously. See. This. Movie.
The Scope The Perks of Being a Wallflower review feels only two or three less than infinite.
