The Perks of Being a Wallflower
DVD ($29.95)
Stephen Chbosky directed this charming coming-of-age drama based on his own acclaimed best-selling novel about a withdrawn high-school freshman pulled off the sidelines of life by a senior girl and her brother to experience the exhilarating joys of friendship, first love, socialization and other joys—and sometimes awkward surprises—of adolescence. Emma Watson continues to build her post-“Harry Potter” resume as part of the superb young ensemble cast, and Dylan McDermott, Kate Walsh, Joan Cusack and Paul Rudd help shoulder the grown-up supporting duties.
