Y'all know any more movies similar to this?
Beautiful Boy
the edge of seventeen
Please please telling you again, please watch unfriended part 1 and 2 🙏
Silver Linings Playbook 🖤
Love Simon
This is such a painfully underrated movie. The chemistry between the three main characters is just perfect and the story itself hits so hard.
I watched it yesterday, and I cried for the whole night. Just the fact that change is inevitable
Tbh I’m sooooo happy it hasn’t been taken advantage of by mainstream culture. Mainly cause the cycle is to devour & immediately move on to the next big exciting thing.
its not underrated at all lol but its very good
Logan portrayed Charlie exactly how i imagined charlie while reading the book.
Agreed
Same with Ezra as Patrick
It's honestly such an amazing movie, and it shows the actual complexities of having amazing moments and also very dark moments in life. How you can bounce back, and that it will take time to recover from trauma but you will be okay in the mean time. Super underrated in the YA fiction and teen movie world I feel.
I really loved every aspect of this movie
I read the book in sixth grade, and as a person that had gone through some of the same struggles Charlie, Sam, and Patrick went through, it honestly hit really hard for me. Definitely my favorite book of all time, although the movie was equally as good as the book. If you can, get the book and actually take your time to read and understand it, because you can go deeper and deeper into Charlie’s mind.
This movie ending hits so hard.
This whole thing was a roller coaster
“That dude with that haircut has the audacity to do that!?” I’m outta here. 😅😅
This movie hits me everytime I just end up With a kinda sadness in my heart and a smile on my face
It's a bitter sweet story for sure
Truth or Dare scene is so iconic. It's epic cringe. You're cringing so hard and then you cringe even harder.
I still can barely get through it when I watch this movie bro
ahh this is one of my favorites! the author of the book also directed the movie so i think that's why it feels so special.
Oh wow, that's probably why people say it's on par with the book
For some reason "I'm not a bulimic. I'm a bulimist" is my favorite quote from this movie
I dont really understand that line tbh. Like I dont think sam was bulimic in the book or movie or maybe I missed something
@@fatoumatacisse3796 She isn't in the movie and I'm pretty sure she isn't in the book either. Maybe she was being sarcastic or something?
@@fatoumatacisse3796 I legit never understood what that line meant either!
That was an improvised line by Emma Watson.
@@deadsetondreams1988Me either
This is one of those movies that benefits from several watchings. Understanding what his aunt did to helps make sense of a lot of his motivations and why he was such a people pleaser. His view of love was tainted and it shows in every interaction
"I have a bad feeling about this after watching Hereditary"
Facts lmao, after watching Hereditary I'm terrified of seeing anyone stick any body part out of a moving vehicle
Especially Hermoine
I cannot even explain the HOLD this book/ movie had on me when it came out when I was in highschool. My best friends and I were a lot like this friend group, we even went to a rocky horror shadow cast show just like the one here 😭 ohhhh the memories man
The “play” is Rocky Horror Picture Show! It’s Iconic in the musical scene! The original starred Tim Curry and it’s one of my favorites and I freaked out the first time I watched Perks, with the Rocky Horror, Dexys, the characters, the darker tones, everything! Perks of Being a Wallflower is my favorite movie of all time
So happy you reacted to this!! One of my favorite movies EVER.
Such a solid movie 👊
This book was just a masterpiece. I wrote to the author when I was still in high school, and years later, when I went off to college, I actually received a hand-signed reply. I'll treasure that letter forever.
I will be spending this whole next month binge watching your reactions. Love it guys 🤌
Definitely Worth It Great Content To Watch Back To Back
I appreciate the support 👊
the movie ending makes me cry ever time though lol
I watched this movie in the cinema when it came out. My whole friend group at the time were all going through some really tough stuff. This movie actually changed the group dynamics. We all went to dinner after the movie and had such a big heart to heart, I swear it bonded us for life ♥️ such a great movie 😊
This movie makes me cry every time cause holy crap it’s so relatable for me YEET
5:34 it's from an old movie called The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Really famous movie from 1975, you should react to it ;)
That would be taken down in 30 seconds 😂
@@Jackson-jd1um Probably but he have to try xD
omgg im so excited for this reaction😭 this movie is one of my all time favorites
Is a good movie. I saw the movie first and read the book for a book report in high school. Both are similar but the book explains alot of things that film left out. Also, the author of the book directed the movie as well.
Do The Lovely Bones next! That movie is a rollercoaster of emotions lol
That would prob be a good reaction from him too. I second this suggestion 💯💯
I cry too many times throughout that movie lol its just so darn sad
Oh yes this movie was definitely an emotional rollercoaster. The soundtrack was amazing as well.
this movie is sooo good and saaddd
I don't think anyone dislikes this movie
I dislike it
@@terrencedeath3311 why
Where can you watch it. I already watched it and read the book but I can’t find it anywhere and I want to watch it again
@@lxfcrt4971 hulu
@@lxfcrt4971Netflix
Hey there is a scene that got cut from the christmas party scene, charlie reads a poem about life to them, u would definitely enjoy it.
yesss, at last!!!!
I've been waiting for this
This is still one of my favorite movies of all time. The acting all around is fantastic of course but I really think Logan Lerman deserves endless praise for his performance as Charlie. As someone that was also introverted in that era of my life, who struggled with social anxiety and depression, watching this movie in high school was the first time I felt seen and heard, that I wasn’t alone (minus the sexual abuse fortunately). He’s a great actor and I believe to this day that he depicted the struggles of that specific mental illness in the most honest and brilliant way :’)
I’m so glad you liked this movie, it’s one of my favorite movies.
I smiled so much watching you watching this! This movie is so close to home to me, and hits close to my heart, how it explores the nostalgia of growing up, and meeting friends, it's just! AGH!!! I LOVE THIS, and you were amazing!
Just discovered your channel and now im here to stay. This movie is one of my absolute favorites! You should watch, “the edge of seventeen” and “the lovely bones” as well
Thanks for the support!
This is a movie to watch when you just need to feel something lmao. Solid film!
Read the book, it is amazing you see Charlie’s world from the letters he writes.
I loved this reaction and I'm so glad you liked it! This is one of my top 5 fav movies! The book was soo good so check that out as well if you're a reader!
I'm definitely not a reader. That's why I have a channel where we watch movies lol
@@TheMikeLawz makes sense lol but, I have seen some reactors that do like to read, so you never know!!
Definitely, should do Dead Poet's Society. Great movie
This has been my favorite book and movie since I was 12. Still cry every time I watch it
Great Fu××ing Movie!!! Can't Wait To See What You And Rome Dogg Think🤘
That dude with that haircut has the audacity.. i died.. hahaha
I love your channel! It’s become one of my favorites
Thanks for the support bro 👊
Freaking love this movie!
You should check out the deleted scenes for this movie! Its on RUclips. It really adds more context to Charlie’s character. He was hurting a lot more than they showered here
This is the best coming of age movie and I can't stop crying right now but thanks for reacting 💛
This made me so happy! My favourite book since my teacher gave me it in High School and have read it every year since. One of the few movies which actually did the book justice
Literally just started the video, and I already appreciate that your recognized Nicholas Braun from Minute Men.
Minute Men was ICONIC
This movie was on my “To Watch List” pre-motherhood - glad I found it thrifting. I watched it twice and was drawn to it and found this clip since I’m wanting someone to connect with. Thanks for doing the reaction to it & keeping it shorter. My points of interest:
- I was a senior flirting with a freshman during One Acts, but nada came from it that year. How her friend just assumed the girlfriend role and steam rolled the nice-guy... beyond me.
- All the flashbacks built that suspense and when the leg rub leads to the discovery 🤯
- I used to ride on our water tank like they did in the tunnel and pretended I was riding an eagle. ❤️
- I’m glad the wallflower was picked and displayed. 💗
I love this movie so much
Just watched this last week for the first time. One of the best films ever made. Read the book already.
Where he is freaking out and hangs up on his sister, and she says "Charlie?!" in this absolutely panicked voice--that was some next level acting. They're all good though. People criticized Emma Watson's accent, which I think is BS. As an actress she did an amazing job.
i love this movie with my whole heart and i'm glad you enjoyed it
My man- have you never heard of people going to THOSE screenings of “Rocky Horror Picture Show”? 👀
(Where there are people reenacting the scenes and the audience gets to yell and throw shit at the screen.)
This movie is one my favorites, I can quote the movie by heart I’ve seen it so many times and I still cry each time I watch it. I could talk about this movie for hours especially the ending! I’ve seen people say the ending is bad because it’s anticlimactic but I kind of think that’s the point (the book is similar in that way) the ending isn’t supposed to be this big exciting moment but its supposed to leave you with a sense of hope that yes life is hard and it takes time to recover from trauma but ultimately life gets better and I think that’s a beautiful message. That Charlie knows he’s still going to have bad days but he also knows he’s not some sad story and he’s infinite
To me the best acting in the whole movie was Candace saying "Charlie" in this panicky voice just as he hangs up. She has acted like the older sister who doesn't have to pay attention to her annoying younger brother, but she actually knows him so well, that after a few sentences on the phone she has her friend call the police.
This movie is set in the 80s so most of the stuff we see as "no big deal" today was way more of a deal like 30 years ago
Yeah This movie is one of the few Coming of age movies that actually is good. Those Netflix teen movies wish they could.
Thank you Mike for doing this review with compassion. Those of us who are victims or survivors of childhood rape see this movie as a true unfiltered vision of the damage that is caused. I am grateful for your hard work on these video's.
woah... this was enjoyable to watch, and you radiate chill vibes.
Thank you!
I love this movie sooo much like this is one of the greatest book to movie adaptations, such a good movie and it really pulls on the heartstrings
I love this movie. Its a coming of age drama thats very well made and most importantly acted. The whole cast is amazing mainly Logan Lerman!
This is my favorite book of all time and the movie did really good justice. I even have one quote of the book/movie on my are "in this moment we are infinite"
5:53 THIS F*CKN GUY 😂🤣🤦🏾♂️
I honestly love this movie and i watch it Everytime I can.❤️❤️
This movie is something else 😭❤️
This is one of my favorite movies because the characters are so relatable.
I just love that you pointed out what everyone thought about ponytail Derek hitting his sister… the audacity
You should check out the Stanford Prison Experiment. Ezra Miller is great in it.
thank you for reacting to this :)
No problem g 👊
Great reaction. Loved the book in high school and then the movie came out when I was in college. Authors need to work on the movie adaptions more often because this was perfect. They really brought these characters to life. 💕
Loved this reaction and loved that you were already so into it like 2 minutes in 😂😂 and the way you defended the main characters lol
Honestly one of my favorite films of all time
Hey love your videos! This movie is one of my faves
Thank you!
saw this recently the first time and it was soooo good.
One of my all time favorite movies 🙌 great reaction bro
This movie hits one of the best young teen movie 🍿🎥 it takes me back high school memories tbh I was scared to ask someone out 😆
Really great movie!
I like that you are expanding onto other genres but this was good. People should understand that guys can watch other stuff even if its romantic for girls. You're so good at not listening to the haters
i wish i could go back and watch it for the first time all over again
You're the second person to mention Hereditary during the tunnel scene 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I obviously need to watch this movie
you should react to booksmart or edge of seventeen! give off similar vibes to this one
This movie is different .I glad you reacted to .
I remember recommending this movie and I’m so glad you watched this so good
Excellent, honest reactions!
Everybody had a teacher like Paul Rudd, those were the real legends
It's so underrated, my favourite movie.
Yay I'm your 1000th like😊.also great commentary loved this reaction.
Thanks so much!
0:46 idk about others this happened to me more in middle school than high school tho a few seniors were particularly cruel
Oh the spoiler reveal - it took until the flashback about “our secret” for me to be like “…oh…oh shit.”
My sisters keeper is a good tear jerker :)
I've seen that before. Now THAT'S a sad movie
@@TheMikeLawz dang it haha
Please watch (dog pound 2010)
Don’t know if you’ll see this now, but you should definitely watch “Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind” it’s an amazing movie, and I think you’ll enjoy it
Holy crap that was Tom Savini!!! I never noticed he was in here and Nina Dobrev as well
This movie always breaks my heart
🤣🤣🤣 I love your reactions. Love this movie too!!
You should do Dead Poets Society, it’s another one of my favorite classics nd Robin William’s portrayal is so good nd the teen cast is also spectacular!
500 days of summer !!
YAY!! such an amazing movie! now i think you should watch 5 feet apart if you like this movie
this movie its amazing and the book is my favorite, i've never related to a story and a character as much as i did with charlie and logan lerman was the perfect casting chpice
This is my favorite movie
Mike actually liked a movie suggestion!!
This movie really shaped his life for war😔 no but jokes aside this movie made me so sad when I was younger, F BULLIES!!
Watch About Time, great story and overall a good film.
finally is one of the best teen movies 😫
The edge of seventeen!
