{movie} rocket science (2007)

When 15-year-old Hal Hefner (Reece Thompson) -- a New Jersey boy with a terrible stutter -- falls in love with the star of his high school debate squad (Anna Kendrick), he joins the team at his dream girl's urging. Next thing you know, young Hal finds himself caught up in the intense competition of debating. Jeffrey Blitz, who wrote and directed this charming tale, was awarded the Dramatic Directing Award at Sundance 2007.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: ** Horribly disjointed and all over the place. I just couldn't get into it. There were a couple of decent moments, but overall I didn't really like the movie. The main character's stuttering makes it even more painful to watch. It was slow at points and pointless in others. Getting to watch the very cute Nicholas D'Agosto helped a little bit, but not much.
