The Perks of Being a Wallflower

— I’m not sure why I didn’t see “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” in a theater when it was released, but I didn’t. It may have been some notion that a “young-adult” novel wouldn’t satisfy. Not so! I watched the DVD last night and was pleasantly surprised by the memories of adolescent and “young adulthood” that are still within me, ready to be tapped by a film like this one.
