Review of Rocket Science (2007) by Jiana W — 03 Jan 2013
Good premise. A lovestruck teenager with a debilitating handicap (severe stuttering) seeks to overcome it and his doubters by participating in a public debate. It didn't end the way I had originally thought it would but I give it kudos for that.
The debate dialogue is very, very quick. So quick I can't believe these kids could actually speak that fast and yet articulate perfectly. The most notable one is Anna Kendrick, whose character, Ginny, is a wizard with words. Nerds will appreciate her character, if for no other reason than her gift for confounding her lessers (like Hal's brother) with her sharp tongue.
Unfortunately, I rarely found this movie funny or as great as the jacket led me to believe.
