DVD Review
by Sean Axmaker, Special to MSN Movies

Jesse Eisenberg (of "Adventureland") is Charlie Banks, an Ivy League kid who gets an education from a charismatic working kid (Jason Ritter) from the old neighborhood, a conflicted soul with violent tendencies who arrives for a visit and insinuates himself into Charlie's life. This is the first feature from Fred Durst, the front man for Limp Bizkit, but the indie drama was beaten to theaters and DVD by his second film, "The Longshots." Critics overwhelmingly prefer this more introspective take on the coming-of-age drama. The DVD features commentary by director Fred Durst and actor Jason Ritter and the featurette "Conversation behind The Education of Charlie Banks."
