Rocket Science - TNL Movie Club Season 2

[Rhydant]

g0zen went MIA so Rumpy asked me to step it up like a man and deliver. And now my presentation for the TNL Movie Club....

ROCKET SCIENCE

Coming of age in Plainsboro, New Jersey. High school student Hal Hefner stutters. On the evening his parents stop arguing and separate, 43 miles away at the state tournament, his school's legendary debater, Ben Wekselbaum, goes blank mid-sentence, Ben's teammate Ginny Ryerson doesn't get a first-place trophy, and the world changes. That fall, to Hal's amazement, Ginny recruits him for the debate team, mentors him, and will be his partner. He still has his stutter, but he works hard and he falls in love with Ginny. On the day of the first debate of the season, the world changes again. From then until the day of the state tournament, Hal has a lot to sort out. Is love rocket science?

I saw this on my flight out of New York from the get-together. I had thought the trailer looked good when I saw it the previous year so I swiped my Visa and $6 later I was completely satisfied. It reminded me of Thumbsucker but without the Keanu Reeves dentistry.

Anyhow. It's worth a watch. The acting is spot on for Hal's role. After watching it on the plane, I really thought that Reece Thompson had a stuttering problem.

Great movie, I enjoyed it a lot. Reese is a really good actor! His stutter sounds totally legit. Sound movie from beginning to end, great pick.
