DVD Review
by Sean Axmaker, Special to MSN Movies

Precocious adolescent Charlie Bartlett (Anton Yelchin), kicked out of private school for his extracurricular scams, lands in a public high school and becomes the most popular kid on campus when he starts dispensing psychological advice – and his prescription medication – to the student body. "First-time screenwriter Gustin Nash tosses out disposable moral lessons by the barrelful while editor-turned-director Jon Poll gleefully bats them over the fence," writes Variety critic Ronnie Scheib, who adds that the film "boasts pitch-perfect face-offs between upstart Anton Yelchin and alcoholic principal Robert Downey Jr. that could fuel a chemistry lab." Hope Davis and Kat Dennings co-star. Features three commentary tracks with the director and cast, deleted scenes, featurettes and other supplements.
