PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"'Perks' deserves points for going beyond the typical coming-of-age drivel aimed at teens. Logan Lerman excels as Charlie and Emma Watson makes a dream girl to die for, but the movie is stolen, head to tail, by Ezra Miller (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)

----------------------------------------
"First-time writer-director Stephen Chbosky adapts his young-adult bestseller with far more passion than skill" (Rob Nelson: Variety)

----------------------------------------
"An honest, affection-hooking, coming-of-age drama which proves that there is life beyond Hogwarts for Emma Watson. (...) Rating: **** (out of five)" (Dan Jolin: Empire)
