"Charlie Bartlett" (2008)

Charlie (Anton Yelchin), a wealthy, intelligent 17-year-old, has been kicked out of nearly every boarding school in town and is now enrolled in the local public high school, headed by the reluctant Principal Gardner (Academy Award® nominee Robert Downey Jr.). Initially struggling to find a place in the new school, Charlie eventually establishes himself as the supportive listener who dispenses well-needed advice, and the occasional prescription, to mixed-up teens. As intuitive Charlie befriends and emotionally influences nearly every student at Western Summit High, the entire school begins to transform into a very different place.
Behind the Scenes of "Charlie Bartlett"
Anton Yelchin (who’ll next be seen in J.J Abram’s "Star Trek"), first-time director Jon Poll, and producer Jay Roach proved to be a formidable tag team at the Los Angeles press conference in support of "Charlie Bartlett." Poll’s making his feature film directorial debut with "Charlie Bartlett," but has been working in the entertainment industry as an editor for the past 20 years.
