The book should be taught in freshmen English classes. Pretty much covers all of the recurring themes of high school: social isolation, experimentation with drugs/sex, emotional disconnect with parents, figuring out who you are and where you want to go, appreciating people different from you.
The movie isn't a perfect adaptation of the book, but it does a really damn good job.

It's been banned by a few school districts around the country.

Great show. I liked the older brother, but he hasn't mad as much success as Lerman.
Bradley Cooper got his start in that show.

It does a really good job of making you understand a really depressed and tormented kid's point of view, while still keeping it slightly upbeat. Parts of that movie make me want to put headphones in, turn on a great song, and just go lay in the grass and stare at the sky. I know it sounds seriously cheesy, but it actually does a good job of capturing that feeling.

Fantastic movie. One of the best I've seen in years. Saw it again on Showtime this weekend and very worth the time.

Bump cos I just finished it and didn't want to start a new thread.
Holy hell that was a good movie. I regret not reading the book but think I might now anyway. It definitely gave me the feels.

The Way Way Back was damn good as well.

The author of the book is the director of the movie. I haven't read it, but heard it's a pretty close translation on the screen.

Anyone else think this movie is comparable to Garden State?
I remember back to them about on the same level in terms of movie quality but I enjoy Perks much more than Garden State.
And to the poster that mentioned it, yes, the movie is very liberal hipster but the story in the movie is pretty amazing. The characters are so good in Perks that you get emotionally invested in all of them, even the closet homo jock that really isn't in the movie a lot.

Yes it was. My 10 year old just told me she really wants to watch that.
