As I watched The Perks of Being a Wallflower, a fine movie with some very strong performances, I realized that I'm just not the target audience for movies like this. You see, I'm just not one of those people who's life was defined by what happened in high school. So, throughout the movie, I kept hoping that the story about a group of high school misfits would expand into later years -- that we'd at least get an epilogue or something.
My wish didn't come true. The movie is entirely about high school, which wouldn't be a bad thing or even all that remarkable if it didn't take itself and its characters lives so seriously.
