Here are some of the excellent actors:
- Logan Lerman (the "Percy Jackson" franchise) is Charlie, dealing with the recent death of a close friend and the accidental death of his favorite aunt when he was little. Our unfortunate hero is a brainy freshman who really does NOT fit in.
- Emily Watson ("The Ballet Shoes") is Sam, the senior girl who "adopts" Charlie, simply because he is a misfit. She squandered her first year of high school and is trying to reinvent herself and get into college.
- Ezra Miller ("City Island") is Patrick, the other half of the duo who sweeps our young hero into acceptance and confusion. Patrick's lively intellect masks a broken heart and a genuine concern for his friends.
- Paul Rudd ("Wanderlust") is Mr. Anderson, the English teacher we all want in our schools. He can spot talent, but also under- stands if his students are reluctant to participate in classroom discussions.
Along with some real wit and Emily Watson [Hermione in "Harry Potter"] speaking American, you can expect very little profanity, no sweaty bodies, some drug use, and only allusions to the other issues. The young adults in the screening audience applauded this one!
