EARLY ACCESS: Perks of Being A Wallflower FULL REACTION

Comments

Loved it

Anthony Jackson

She hated it too! But yeah I agree with you

Katie

This movie hits so much harder now that I’m an adult. I love this movie, my only real complaint is that Emma Watson’s American accent is horrible. Lol she’s alot better at it now but it’s bad here. Besides that this movie is great and that’s even a real complaint of be clear.

Noel Valdez

one of my absolute favorite movies I have the quote “we accept the love we think we deserve” tattooed on me. i remember reading the book and it just sitting somewhere deep with me. fantastic book and movie 💗 loved you alls insight

Kymberlee Shakoor-Asadi Preston

Me too. Sometimes you just need a good cry 😭

Alanna Banana 🍌

high recommend looking up michael’s(charlie’s bff) poem it will give more insight on michael and it’s actually a beautiful poem

Anakka Stickley

i just finished the reaction!!! i’m so glad you guys appreciated it as much as i do. For background on charlie’s friend there was actually a scene they cut out and this was also in the book basically charlie is writing to michael the letters are to his bestfriend at the secret santa they cut out a scene of charlie reading a poem michael wrote

Anakka Stickley

Watch the uncut 🤙

Badd Medicine

the volume on this is not working haha

Anakka Stickley

I saw this not long after its release, I liked it but I remembered very little apart from a few scenes like the tunnel scene, and of course the big reveal about the aunt at the end. So I rewatched with you guys and I think it's even a better movie than what I thought back then.

Aria Isara

I'm so delighted to know, you guys agree with my stance on this film. I remember watching it for the first time at age 12 when it came out, right after finishing elementary school, and it wrecked me. Although I believed that it was a great story, it also made me anxious about entering high school (11-17 is high school where I live.) but as someone who is now in college, I'm grateful for my high school experiences. Just an amazing coming of age film.

Bomelo

You're welcome 😊💕

Bri

Thank you so much 🥹

Alanna Banana 🍌

arcane act 3 hit me with a hammer and then perks came out the corner with the steel chair(genuinely so glad this movie was recommended)

slavicandsapphic

Thank you for the kind words. 😊 Yes I've always loved movies too, and after reading I got into writing as well. I'm sure your perfect match is out there hoping for the same, and I wish you find them soon too. 💕

Bri

Did you cry? 😭

Alanna Banana 🍌

I hope we all find our people. I’ve become online friends with a fellow Badd Medicine fan and always welcome anyone who wants to reach out to me. ☺️

Alanna Banana 🍌

Thank you so much. I just hate that people have this idea that men can’t be victimized and women can’t be perpetrators. It can affect anyone 🩷

Alanna Banana 🍌

Thank you so much, Paul. ☺️

Alanna Banana 🍌

I saw it in theatres and bought the book right after too. I’m glad you got a diagnosis and understand yourself more. Escapism with books and movies has saved me more times than I can count. I’m so glad you found your person that knows and loves you. I’m 29 and still hoping for that (never been in a relationship) but hopefully one day soon 🤞

Alanna Banana 🍌

A fantastic adaptation of my favorite book, it’s one of those stories that truly stays with you and I cannot praise the actors enough for bringing the characters to life.

Madison RaeAnn Apitz

I'm so glad y'all finally watched this movie! Loved what you all had to say at the end, and want to let you know that your words are reaching young people. We're in different states, but I recommended y'all to my 17 year old sister awhile back, and last night we watched this together over the phone. It was her first time seeing it too and she loved it like I do. I actually saw this in theaters when it came out in 2012. I had just graduated HS the year before and was going to a community college. I hadn't read the book, ended up buying it after, and didn't know how deep the movie would get, but it resonated so much with me. I didn't learn about adhd until I was 29 and my mom got diagnosed during the pandemic. That eventually led me to discover I have it too and why school and making friends was so hard for me. I was shy, quiet, and awkward, and I dealt with depression and anxiety. My best friend since 3rd grade and I drifted apart in high school so I didn't feel like a fit in anywhere. One year, I remember I didn't really know anyone who had lunch at the same time I did, and I would either eat quickly and go walk around, or just skip lunch altogether and go to the library. I actually got into reading after watching Twilight at 15 and subsequently buying all the books. I loved the escapism I got. Sometime after seeing this movie, I was at a Carnival with my other sister, she's a year younger but was very popular in high school and had friends in my grade as well. That always made me feel more insecure because I assumed people were comparing us and I looked like a dork in comparison. But I would go and do things with her and her friends to get out the house, so we went to this Carnival and she ended up walking away to talk to someone. It made me feel very awkward standing around other people without her, I was imagining what they were thinking about me and I started feeling panicky. Looking back I assume it was an anxiety attack. So I walk off, mentally freaking out at this point, when the live band at this Carnival starts playing Come On Eileen. I instantly think about the dance scene from this movie and make my way over to where the band is playing. Listening to the song, and remembering this movie, helped me calm down and not feel so alone. Since then, both have become such a comfort to me. I like the song Asleep too, but listening to it now puts me back in that dark headspace, the lyrics are just so sad. Anyway, I think this is the kind of movie that every teenager can take something away from. It's important to know you're not alone and that there are people that can and will try to understand you, and that everything is temporary. My husband and I finally got married this year, we first started dating when I was 17. He's my best friend and he actually gets me and my quirks, but back then, in them teenage years, I didn't think that would ever happen. The world felt so small in high school, but it's important to note that if you haven't met your people or found your place yet, you will!

Bri

Let's hope so. I noticed your comment about your mental health struggles and I'd like to wish you all the best with that.

Paul Yu

I'm glad you were able to keep yourself safe. Sending all the love ❤️

Paul Yu

When I was in my initial phases of healing, I've encountered many people who have been abused while I was in group therapy. I can't imagine what it's like but I see your pain. Thank you for sharing and sending love. ❤️

Paul Yu

Thanks send you love as well and glad to hear that the book helped you through a lot ❤️

Paul Yu

I wish they had a directors cut with the deleted scenes. Those deleted scenes add to the story. Wish they kept him reading the poem in

Katie

Sending my love. The book helped me through a lot

Katie

Thanks! 😊 Sorry for your experiences as well! Thanks for being such a supportive and empathetic member of this community ❤️

Paul Yu

I’m so sorry to hear about your experiences. Proud of you for being sober 😊 watch it when you’re ready. 💗

Alanna Banana 🍌

Woah I had no idea about the subject matter in this movie… May hold of watching it for a day or two. I have lived experience with lengthy SI (early teens to mid thirties) and nearly had an SA at my mid thirties were it not for a friend who realized that I was acting on my plan and intervened. Grew up with depression, anxiety and alcohol abuse and CPTSD which weren’t properly treated until after my near attempt. Thankfully I no longer experience SI for sometime and sober for 10+ years now, however some recent life events have agitated my CPTSD, anxiety and depression. Really want to watch this movie much more now that I know the subject matter but need to emotionally prepared lol. Even though I haven’t seen it yet, it’s heartening to see how much it’s resonated with so many here. Sending love, good vibes and virtual hugs all around. ❤️

Paul Yu

I’m glad you all enjoyed the movie. This is one of my favorite books and movies. I would encourage you to read the novel as well if you get the chance. The book is written as individual letters, each beginning with “Dear Friend.” It’s implied that you or the reader is who Charlie is writing to. Just a beautiful body of work.

Camille Walker

Same goes to you 💜

Amanda P

Yes and Scott Pilgrim.

Alanna Banana 🍌

I hope you’re doing better now. I can relate to all of that minus the self harm. Sending you good vibes ☺️

Alanna Banana 🍌

I’m so sorry that happened to you. Sending you so much love ❤️

Alanna Banana 🍌

Also don’t know if you noticed but the guy who plays Patrick played Credence in the Fantastic Beasts films

Katie

That’s a good point

Katie

I’m guessing it was for the scene. They did a slow reveal by saying “I was 11” and making the audience think it’s a cute innocent little kiss between a couple of sixth-grade kids. If she’d said “I was 7” it would have raised eyebrows too soon and ruined that false sense of complacency they’re luring you into. So ultimately you wouldn’t have the gut-punch of them revealing it wasn’t a couple of kids at all, and the scene would be less impactful.

Maisie

Wait, that was HER?!

Maisie

This book and film broke me. I was SA'd in middle school and it wasn't until I reached adulthood that a doctor verbalized my trauma as a fact. My brain sheltered me from the trauma like Charlie's brain did. Before that, I was convinced dudes couldn't possibly be SA'd. I can't wait to rewatch this with you guys. I bet Oak got the movie 100%.

Johnny Blue

This is the only book I’ve read 3 times. I love the movie , as someone who’s dealt with alot of the themes of this story, I’m so happy uoj guys are reacting to it. This book is a tough read lots of emotions with it. Can’t wait to watch it with you ❤️

James Ventola

I don’t either. There’s no way they wouldn’t of said anything to their parents

Katie

The brain is crazy!

Katie

Also only thing that was really a huge change was that when Sam said what happened to her with her dad’s friend she was 7. Not too sure why the author changed the age so much in the film

Katie

So sorry that happen to you Emily, I can't imagine what you have gone through, but thank you for sharing this tidbit about the film and how it helped.

Badd Medicine

Yall always say you would’ve never checked out movies if we wouldn’t recommend them, well there are some movies that we would’ve never checked out unless yall did, so happy i saw this one because of yall, 5/5 answers as well

Steven Warner

Phenomenal book phenomenal film, shout out to the guys, they really go the extra mile taking in every scene and detail. The articulate and relatable summaries of your reactions are why you’re the best in the reacting game for me, everytime I click play i feel like I’m watching a film with friends and that goes further then what you’ll know, awesome stuff lads! 💚💜

Sam Hackett

Logan Lerman is phenomenal and I wish he was in more things! This movie and the fault in our stars kinda go hand in hand in my mind, with how they make me feel. The way they drop all the gut punches in this movie in a way that's so casual almost just hits harder, there's no dramatic music or big moment it just hits you and you're so blind sided by it, just so good. I'm so glad you guys loved it, had no doubt in my mind you would! I connect with Charlie through the bullying, loneliness, and depression. I was horribly bullied in middle school and high school, to the point where I self harmed and was severely depressed, but I never told anyone not even my parents until much later. I didn't have friends for a very long time and was also incredibly shy because obviously. It hurts so much seeing characters go through the same things, and hurts more when I know so many people go through it irl. I just want to hug anyone who is\has and just say to them "I see you" 🫂. Anyways I love this movie and happy we finally have you guys watching it

Amanda P

Oak you recognize Brad from Jennifer’s Body

Steven Warner

I never found my people either. I didn’t have any friends in my life until college. I’m so glad you had a teacher like Mr Anderson. Working as a therapist for young people must be so draining but also so rewarding. ☺️

Alanna Banana 🍌

Yeah it’s really interesting how the brain will block things out to try to protect you.

Alanna Banana 🍌

It’s a really emotional and heavy movie. Sending you good vibes 🩷

Alanna Banana 🍌

As an adult who struggles making friends, I feel you on this. 🩷

Alanna Banana 🍌

I definitely don’t think his brother and sister knew

Alanna Banana 🍌

Probably

Alanna Banana 🍌

I relate to all of this including the SA. This movie is so important for so many people. Sending love to you, fellow mental health warrior 🩷

Alanna Banana 🍌

Thanks Dave. You’re the best 🩷

Alanna Banana 🍌

I’m right there with you. Sending love 💗

Alanna Banana 🍌

The book delves into even more serious stuff. Candace gets pregnant and doesn’t want the parents to know so Charlie takes her to “deal” with it. I think there’s something relatable in this movie for everyone whether it be depression, bullying, being gay, domestic violence, loneliness, studying and trying to get into your dream college, going to parties, etc.

Alanna Banana 🍌

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet or if you guys talked about it in the reaction (Havent watched yet). But the actress who plays Mary Elizabeth also voiced Katara in Avatar lol

Stray

One of my most disliked characters in this movie is Craig and the thing that irks me a lot is how he refused to go to one of Sam’s school dances cause he thought it was “lame” yet dates a high school student 🤦‍♀️ I love the book, it’s just as amazing as the movie. I saw this movie in theatres when it came out (I was 16 about to turn 17) and read the book immediately after.

Alanna Banana 🍌

Thank you so much for reacting to this one. I am not exaggerating when I say this piece of media changed my life. I first read the book when I was in 8th grade, and I could so easily relate to Charlie's shyness and not understanding the thoughts he had going on in his head. It was so impactful, that I would carry the book with me everywhere I went, making my copy very well-loved. The movie came out my freshman year of high school, and will forever be one of my favorite films. Stephen Chbosky had offers to make the movie for years, but wanted to wait til he had the perfect cast, and I really think he did. Logan completely encapsulated Charlie just as he is in the book. You mentioned the heavy subjects being paired with moments of levity. I think that contributes to what makes the movie feel realistic, because that is how life itself is. Even when things are dark, there are always glimpses if light to look out for. Unfortunately high school was still rough for me, and I didn't quite ever find my people like Charlie did. But I had a teacher my senior year, who was like my own Mr. Anderson. She supported me and indirectly guided me to the career that I have now. I am now a therapist, and work primarily with kids and adolescents. You were right that high school kind of stays the same over time. There are new struggles, like social media, but the kids have the same problems, and are trying to find their place in the world. As a therapist, I now try to help all the "Charlie's" that come into my office, the same way Charlie helped me.

Maggie

As one of the many people recommending it, I’m so glad you guys watched this. One of the reasons I love this movie is how relatable and real the characters are. I especially relate to Charlie as I love writing, am fiercely loyal, was without friends for a long period of my life, was hospitalized for trying to end myself my first year of high school, and was abused by a female relative (my mom). I like that this movie spotlights a female abuser because most people think it’s only males and also highlights a male victim.

Alanna Banana 🍌

This movie is to good

Graham F

Right, the memories don’t come back to him until Sam touches him. It’s a little more explicit in the book but not really. But he completely remembers and knows it wasn’t a dream while in the hospital. I’m not sure about the siblings though because in the book it happened when they were all watching tv together. But it never says if they were awake or not

Katie

Yep yep still cried even of its the 110th time watching this movie. I’ve never had someone other than Charlie (movie and book) to describe my inner thoughts and feelings quite like him. Luckily nothing to do with That, but just his manners and his way of beeing and his inner world. Its like listening to myself. Did at 15, does at 25. It gets me sobbing every time.

Sofia W

such a great movie and reaction! I can tell this is gonna be one of the few times I revisit a reaction. and now, I continue to wait patiently for your Sherlock Holmes reaction.. or did I miss it? (no need to answer, I'll check after I'm done commenting)

Mister Lou

The book talks a little more about exactly what his Aunt did and how often. Charlie doesn’t remember what happened until Sam touches him. He only saw her as his favorite Aunt. I like how it shows how our brain blocks out huge trauma like that and how something can trigger all those memories to come back. I think this films hits me so hard because I unfortunately relate so much to Charlie. Like he said, it makes you feel not alone. The movie definitely hits on some hard topics. I thought Logan played Charlie really well and show casted his awkwardness really well. The book doesn’t go much into Michael’s suicide. Charlie was most bothered by not knowing why.

Katie

Wonderful film, one of the best I've ever seen. Haven said that, this will be the only time I watch this, hits waaaaaay too close to home and has me wrecked at the moment.

I'm Batman

This was a first time watch for me and I could heavily relate to Charlie's shyness and awkwardness during his High School years. For me, the process of making friends is a continuous one. I'm at a point in my life (as an adult) where I really don't have any friends. They have come and gone throughout my life but I appreciated what Oak and Answer said about your people being out there somewhere, you just have to find them (or they you). Thank you for that.

AD1928

Ohhh I've been waiting on this one! Was so excited when I saw you guys were gonna react to it this month, this movie had emotions hitting me like a truck.

Alex Turnbull

Got my favourite dinner and about to start watching one of my all time favourite movies with my favourite Wisconsin bros. LETS FUCKING GO

Alanna Banana 🍌

My favorite part of this reaction is the several minutes the Oak sat silent at the end of it, because you could tell he *got* it. That soul-deep earth-shook experience this movie gives you.

Maisie

Spoiler warning: when I remember correctly it is explained in the book that no one knew. Not even Charlie rememberes what happened to him until the very end when he dissociates and goes to the hospital (in the book his father finds him sitting naked in the living room)

Flower-in-The-Night

chat is this movie gonna make me cry

slavicandsapphic

This is my MOVIE 🎬 🍿 🍿 WHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! ❤️ 😍

Love10 ❤️

All my love to you ❤️❤️ You can always message me if needed. I know what you went through 💔

Katie

TW BELOW! I identify with Charlie so much! I’ve never been a survivor of SA, but I do struggle with anxiety and depression, and ended up needing to go inpatient for a few days to keep myself safe, because I was having thoughts of suicide. Seeing Charlie go through that and seeing how supportive his family and friends were made my heart so happy.

Kaley

Thank you friend, I appreciate that. I wish you the same ❤️

Emily G

Been waiting all day!! Let’s gooooo
