" [quote]Jeffrey Blitz's inspirational drama Rocket Science proves that many a handicap can be overcome, no matter how daunting the obstacle at hand may initially seem. Newcomer Reece Thompson plays Hal Hefner, a 15-year-old high-school student with a minor yet socially alienating (and painful) disability: he stutters uncontrollably. Determined to work through the problem, Hal opts for an extreme route -- he joins the school debating team, which sends him on a headfirst plunge into breakneck speech competitions -- and offers a much-needed boost toward correcting the problem. Blitz, like his onscreen alter ego, struggled with a stammer as a young man -- a disability he eventually surmounted -- which imparted him with a lifelong interest in speech and storytelling."

I like anything about the awkwardness of adolescence. Hopefully I'll see this tonight.

I think this movie either hit DVD semi-recently or will very soon. I'd never heard of it when it was making it's limited rounds, but it made it's way to my download queue tonight. I definitely enjoyed the film and will probably re-watch the last hour or so again with my roommate who tried, but finally gave in to the Lunesta. By no means a film critic but I guess a strong 7/10 is in order?

i give it a 6.8/10


the ending could have been better. they could have given back stories on how each character turned out.


overall good, but quite disappointed with the ending.

yeah that would be my only gripe. at first i was like "*fist.shake* blast!" but as the credits rolled i just kind of accepted it.
