Drama Charlie is a troublesome 18-year-old who breaks out of a youth drug treatment clinic, but when he returns home to Los Angeles, he's given an intervention by his parents and forced to go to an adult rehab. There, he meets a beautiful but troubled girl, Eva, and is forced to battle with drugs, elusive love and divided parents.

	Media	Author	Review
		Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter	"A film that was probably more therapeutic to make than it is to watch (...) ['Being Charlie'] have little new to say about addiction, families or the process of recovery"
		Andrew Barker Variety	"Rob Reiner stages a partial comeback with this uneven yet clearly personal addiction drama (...) a film that generally succeeds in spite of its formulaic underpinnings and loose ends"
		Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	""hile it’s a competently made, intermittently pertinent and occasionally amusing, Reiner’s low-key approach to a familiar theme lacks the heft or dazzle to distinguish Being Charlie in a crowded house"
