The Perks of Being a Wallflower

 so for my birthday me and my friend decided to see the movie 'the perks of being a wallflower' with no real idea of what the movie was about apart from the simple fact that Emma Watson was starring in it, yes a poor choice to pick a movie but i didn't feel like seeing a cartoon or horror/thriller so perks it was.

and after blindly finding our seats in the dark, watching adverts for movies we have now decided we'll also being seeing once they're out it finally started...

Turns out it's a (and was) funny and touching coming of age story based on the best-selling novel by Stephen Chbosy (which i plan on reading) a modern classic that captures the dizzying highs and crushing lows of growing up. The Perks of being a Wallflower is a moving tale of love, loss, fear and hope and the unforgettable friends that help you through life.

To say the least i was surprised. pleasantly surprised having my expectations low from the start it was shocking to have them risen at the first site of humor and emotion admitted from me, there were scenes that made the whole cinema including me giggle, chuckle and full out snicker, there were aw worthy scenes (and trust me there were a few) which also meant it had it's fair share of cringe worthy scenes which had me and my friend hiding our faces behind our hands till it was over (sorry can't handle embarrassing scenes even if it's not me on scene, i'm emphatic like that.)

All in all i truly enjoyed the movie, with it's touching story line and amazing actors/actresses that really brought the characters and their emotions to life on the big screen, made the movie watching experience that much better making me feel like my money wasn't wasted and indeed buy the movie once it hits stores on DVD.

I also recommend it to watch as a feel a good drama/romance, giving it a rating of five stars and a review/comment which can be found here http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/movie/147832/perks-of-being-a-wallflower/review?commentpage=last#end-of-comments a shorter praising than this one here...

 5 stars!


finishing this up with the trailer...
