Last week's film, The Last Picture Show, was a really thought provoking, somewhat demanding classic coming-of-age film.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is much lighter and is just huge summer fun, so it is a great way to end this year.

The Mercury (Australia) reviewer said: "The Perks of Being a Wallflower is funny, nostalgic, heartfelt and sweet, and so vivid it will practically make you feel the warm summer wind in your hair."

Socially awkward Charlie is a wallflower watching from the sidelines, until a pair of charismatic seniors take him under their wing. And of course he discovers girls.

Enough said, pure fun, not bubble headed, and you will get a buzz watching it.
