Probably the worst movie i've ever seen

Good reveal and subsequent systematic demolition of the troll of the original post by those who replied, but we should remember, these kind of people aren't really out to convince anyone of anything, rather just derive a lot of words, the angrier the better, from people unable to silently suffer it. This manner of troll is very like an arsonist's watching their flames from a safe distance, rubbing their hands together maniacally, softly but uncontrollably laughing to themselves so as to not gain attention of the arriving emergency services.

Viewed through that prism, on page four of this thread, we must agree the troll has succeeded with his efforts using the oldest trick in the book, simply saying something is the "best ever" or "worst ever" and watching the predictable dustup ensue.

It's hard to get a lot of people to agree that something is simply "good" or "not good", let alone coming to consensus on something being the amazing best ever or absolute worst there is.

Now, he did say in his title PERKS... was "worst movie I'VE ever seen", so you could just accept he considers it to be the worst movie HE'S seen (well, kind of seen, and one really should give something the benefit of a full viewing before declaring it the worst ever), and simply note his observation, recognizing he likely holds different sensibilities than you and move on.

The problem is, he also tossed a bunch of invectives in his kind-of-review, which some understandably take issue with, not to mention the presence of factual errors, which bother those of us, myself included, who would prefer that the facts of things being discussed are kept straight. Kindly go nuts with your opinions, but leave the facts as they are.

Anyway, the language was intended to kick up a ruckus, which it did, and the response is heartening as it seems more and more, smart people are less willing to quietly suffer morons who get off on creating pointless nuisance. All trolls should be called out and stomped like this one was, but remember, they are trying to get a rise out of you, not convince you of anything.

That said, I liked the movie, but it not the best ever or worst I've ever seen, alas. I do think it is only slightly better than Adam Sandler's very best movie, "Punch Drunk Love", but not quite as entertaining as his funniest movie "Billy Madison". This is my opinion, not an attempt to upset anyone, haha.

I went to high school from 1986-1990, but it was on the West Coast, so I think our experience out here is different than in the East. (For instance, I know our seniors have no interest in paddling Freshmen @sses like those Texas weirdoes in "Dazed and Confused" if they still do that). California high school kids were especially mellow through the 1980's and into the early 90's at least, definitely when I was there. There were almost no fights, and a lot of people who moved comfortably from one kind of group of friends and another. "Fast Times as Ridgemont High" was our ideal, I think. Plus, c'mon, we got the sun, got the waves, we got the beach, got the babes...

Emma Watson is excellent in this film, but I do think the role called for an 18 year old who looked more like a 21 year old than a 15 year old which Emma still looks like. And the scene where she talks about her experience with father's friend (friends?) beginning like at age 12 or so, I could only think that this actress looked like Hermione in the second or third Harry Potter movie at that age. I'm fully aware this is a different character, and I am just sayin'...
Ezra Miller was fantastic, and it was nice to see him in something lighter than "We Need to Talk About Kevin" which would have been pretty much anything, as dark as that was. He was great in that, but naturally got to show a lot more emotion in this one. Look for more good stuff from him. Logan Lerman was good, especially at the end, when he went into the depression. I did notice a few of the songs they played hadn't come out by 1991, but a small matter, really, the soundtrack was great, loaded with fond memories for me.

Good stuff. You know what, thinking it over, this movie actually was THE BEST ONE I'VE EVER SEEN!!!
(Anyone who disagrees with me is a pretentious psuedo-hipster, and is probably standing in line for overpriced coffee at this very instant, wearing a fedora, most likely grey in color)

That was one of the most ignorant, uninformed posts I've ever seen here. Conrgatulations, douchebag - you with the *beep* medal.

Ignore Republicans; then you rob them of their lies having any influence. http://foxnewslies.net/

oh yes it clearly is a movie about "its so hard to grow up being rich kid" that at one point Charlie is worried that his parents wont be able to pay the hospital bill

for some reason it appears that the perks haters like you cannot spell correctly or form coherent sentences with proper grammatical structures. This definitely says something about the people who despise the film or don't understand it and refuse to- they are less educated and less cognizant of the complexities of life. Essentially, they are your lowest common demoninator viewers that salivate over low-brow "nut-punch granny humping" coarsest of the coarse "humor". They hate whatever they don't understand or have never encountered in life and are too narrow minded to seek to understand. It's the worst kind of person.

you should probably avoid the homophobic comments too.
