This is a traditional coming of age movie with everything you want. It has a gorgeous, talented cast, a well written script full of highs and lows and a fantastic soundtrack. The basic story is a loner starts a new school and becomes friends with a group of misfits.
The highlight for me was the Rocky Horror Picture show scenes. I love anything to do with Rocky Horror. Ezra was an excellent and too pretty Frank-N-Furter.

I'm so out of the loop with music nowadays, that the only way I know about anything new is when I hear it on a soundtrack! The fact that you've listed this as having a fantastic one, means that my playlists would benefit greatly from winning one of these ;)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win because this was the first movie I was able to see with my son, but because it was a Babes in Arms session, there was a bit of negotiating movie around feeding, changing and the occasional baby squeals!
ReplyDeleteI did love the movie, though (just like I loved the book) and I'd love to see it over and over again!
Quirky and lovely-just like me, umm perhaps not but this movie certainly has both these qualities and is a must see!
ReplyDeleteYou've just reminded me I need to watch this show somehow ;p Good luck to the giveaway participants!

Hermione AND Rocky Horror??? I need to win this like you wouldn't believe!

I'm a wallflower...I'm yet to discover the perks :)
ReplyDeletewould love to win it!
I've read the book, haven't seen the flick yet. Would love to! Perhaps I could watch it during one of the many (many, many) late night feeds sure to soon be coming my way...
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the giveaway, Rachel. Good luck everyone!
Oh I would love to win this!! TV in my house is usually the kids shows (How many times can you watch the same ep of Peppa Pig??!!??) and hubbys crime shows!! Would be nice to fight back with 'mums turn!!'.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!! xx
I need to win this so when my eldest gets there, I will already have a heads up!

Well seeing as I won a copy of LOL in your last DVD giveaway (another coming of age movie, which Miss 16 & I vastly enjoyed), I think it only makes sense that I have to win a copy of the Perks of Being a Wallflower DVD too :-)
ReplyDeleteI am WAY out of the loop of movies and music.. although my husband informs me all the time via IMDB... lots of facts and figures he likes to read up on.. this would be right up his alley!
ReplyDeleteI haven't even heard of this movie!!
ReplyDeleteI reckon I'd enjoy it, but it wouldn't be Boatman's cup of tea
You had me at Rocky Horror Picture Show, favourite movie ever!

Id love to see something GOOD!!!! Im so tired of renting bad movies and I need a great movie session! I dont get out much with 4 boys!!!!!
ReplyDeletesounds good would love to watch it :-)
ReplyDeleteI have never even heard of this but then I can't remember when last we went to the movies so I shouldn't be surprised !!
ReplyDeleteHave the best day !

I, myself used to be quite loud & out there, I have over time, found myself becoming more of a wallflower. I think maybe I need some inspiration which this movie could give me, to become less of a wallflower, & more of the "middle of the floor, having a good time, but not too loud" type of person!!

I would love to win this contest! When I read this book for the first time, my entire life changed. I had met a boy who had so much in common with me. Charlie remains my favorite protagonist of all time.. along with Holden Caulfield. I can relate to Charlie in so many ways and on so many levels. We view the world in the exact same way. I cannot wait for Stephen to write another novel!
ReplyDeleteI do not own the novel. I have it as a pdf file. To be able to own the dvd would bring the story to life for me! I can't wait to re-read the book in my free time.
As I said, the novel changed my life. It showed me I'm not the only one struggling to keep my head up amongst the whirlwind around me. :)

I'd love to hear what the perks of being a wall flower actually are.
ReplyDeleteAt my high school dances a lot of us guys were just left sitting around all night.
Then again, that could be because it was an all boys school. :) And the girls from our sister school knew us too well. They never showed up!
Emma Watson all grown up - sort of - is a big draw card here.
ReplyDeleteThanks to the mention of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW I now have some of the raunchier numbers flashing before my eyes & in my head.
I have heard great things about THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER & would love to see for myself thanks.
Cheers!!

Love that the movie wasnt hype up, adaptation was close to the book and was a very entertaining watch.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this because it's what brought my now boyfriend and I together. We've been best friends for years and I was going through a really hard time. We got closer and we both read the book at the same time. By falling in love with the book, we talked more and ended up falling in love with each other. Going to see the movie was our first date. I have no doubt in my mind we'll be together forever, and he's insistent that if we end up married, our kids have to see this movie and read the book. Owning a copy of the movie would make this heaps easier, and be a great way to surprise him.
ReplyDeleteI am a series addict and the best way to watch a series is with back to back episodes. I would love to own The Perks of Being a Wildflower on DVD so I can spend a day on the couch watching episode after episode.
ReplyDeleteAs a single mother of two teenagers (1 boy, 1 girl) I'd use this superb movie as a way of touching base with my children; spending valuable time together and hopefully communicating too.
ReplyDeleteMy niece loves this movie so much she saw it five times at the movies. Only problem was finding someone to go with so uncle was dragged along 4 out of 5 times and swears that if his wife does not get this movie for said niece he will subject wife to watching the Lord of the Rings Trilogy 5 times eachas punishment. Please help said aunty!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in high school (in Brisbane) I was shy and awkward. (I think the term Wallflower is kind.) I love coming of age movies like Reality Bites and Grease and am seen to see this flick too please.
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to see this but missed it at the movies - a wriggly toddler and four year old aren't conducive to good cinema experiences (apart from cartoons!). I would love to watch this in the comfort of my lounge room, with a pause button if needed.
ReplyDeleteHarry was so bad in this movie, he didn't even do any tricks... oh wait, that's not Hermione.
ReplyDeleteI want to say Emma Watson is the standout in this movie, yet I feel all 3 leads are phenomenal. I'm man enough to say i shed a tear... okay, plural - tears.
I'd love to win a copy of this movie becaaaaause my local movie shop guy told me it was time to grow up when I collected the last few Potter DVD's from their ex-rental section and said that perhaps I'd like to try a proper movie when I rented Tangled. He's mean. I'd like to avoid him.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves this book and movie. I like it because it caused her to come to me to ask, "Dad, could you please put some Smiths music on my iPod?" That felt good.
ReplyDeleteIt looks and sound like an awesome movie and need something to watch beside boring tv shows.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see Emma Watson again. .. She is a truly beautiful and gorgeous young woman, both on the inside and out.
