I have not seen any film for a week or two now, but it felt like years. Not watching movies is like not eating anything healthy or delicious. It is depriving. And this one's a good starter.
A Jeffrey Blitz film
Hal Hefner, a 15-year high school student who has a terrible stutter, struggles to get over troubles at home as he joins his school's debate team.
Hal is not only having a hard time at home, but also a hard time speaking. He finds it difficult to say things on his mind, even answering simple questions about his daily food preferences (fish or pizza, answer me!). But his life started to change when a beautiful classmate asked him to join the debate team. Of course, he eventually falls for her. But this is not a love story.
The narrative was simple, but definitely entertaining. In the most realest way possible, high school kids are actually portrayed and appeared like normal high school kids. But aside from its naturally interesting plot, the actors, particularly the 'debaters' gave such outstanding performances you would root even for the story's antagonist. Anna Kendrick was sensational. While Reece Thompson has undeniably won my heart. With such a lovely soundtrack (singing "That's why I love the unknown."), effortless-like narrative, and pretty awesome characters, Rocket Science easily captivates its viewers' hearts. Sharing its own kind of flavor, it is a coming-of-age film worthy to be seen.
