A Lot or a Little? What you will—and won't—find in this movie. What's the Story? Charlie Logan Lerman is starting high school, a momentous and fairly joyous occasion ... if not for the fact that his best friend killed himself months before, and Charlie himself is recovering from a breakdown of sorts. It's a scary situation, until he befriends Patrick Ezra Miller, a charismatic, openly gay senior whose biggest heartache is that his closeted boyfriend refuses to acknowledge their relationship in public. Patrick's step-sister, Sam Emma Watson, a sweet girl saddled with an unfair reputation, takes to Charlie, too - and vice versa. Together they navigate the treacherous waters of high school with some success, until Charlie is forced to face his past again. Talk to Your Kids About ... Families can talk about how the movie depicts teens. Are the characters and their decisions realistic? What about the consequences of those decisions? How does the movie portray drinking and drug use? Are they glamorized? If you've read the book, how does the movie's take on these subjects compare? How does the movie depict bullying? What should teens do if that happens to them? What should they do if they see it happening to someone else? Parents, ask your teens about the sense of alienation that the movie suggests teenagers have. Are real teens this disaffected and disillusioned?
