Review: The Perks

The perks of being a wallflower

I will admit the horrible truth and that is I haven't actually read this book; after having watched the movie, I'd wished I had of gotten my hands on the book sooner.  I've heard people leaving the cinema cry, and personally, I hate crying in movies, haha sook, but I still had to go, regardless.

The cast was perfectly picked in my opinion, everyone true to their character. I adored Patrick, don't get me wrong, Charlie, I would hug in a second, but that's equal to Patrick. Sam (Emma) was just enchanting/memorizing.

Throughout the movie, I would laugh, get teary, fell my heart almost stop.. each character a bright future in one way or another, but a dark cloud hovering over all of them.  And it wasn't until the end (I won't spoil it for those who haven't read the book/seen the movie), did I feel the waterworks...The chemistry between Charlie and Sam, made me smile like an absolute fool, but they were depicting a life-a scenario that's so relatable, and not a typical fairytale ending in one aspect... and also what I assumed was sad in the first place, completely twisted around, and I felt rather sick to the stomach..

It's amazing people with a horrible past, or current life, that go through such a hard time and suffer, that I wished there was more I could do. 

Overall, I cannot wait to go back to the cinemas and see this again, as well as getting my hands on to the book, because I'm in love with this.
