it's appropriate parents, so chill out
I honestly hate it when adults say movies such as this aren't age appropriate for teenagers. There is absolutely nothing in this movie that any highschooler hasn't seen or been exposed to before. Overall I felt like this movie was fantastic. The characters were well-developed and interesting and the story was unique. If you are debating on whether to watch this or not, GO FOR IT. You won't be at all sorry you did.

Good for kids in high school if they understand the characters aren't role models
This is a great movie, but not for younger teens. It captures the teenage feeling and the moments. Downey is fantastic.

Charlie Bartlett is amazing... said by my whole family.
I went to this movie with my dad and stepmom. All of us agreed that it was one of the best movies this year. All these other reviews said it was so inappropriate but this was less than other movies. A little bit of cursing is not that bad. It had one or two scenes where a few kids were smoking some weed but the scene does not revolve around it. There is pill usage and cigarettes. Are legal cigarettes that innapropritate for a 13 or 14 year old to watch being smoked??? There is 2 parts where suicide is attempted but its not graphic. It may not be appropriate for everyone but it is a must see and isn't as innapropriate as said. Anton Yelchin and Tyler Hilton were amazing in this movie. It is a comedy with a message and is wildly entertaining. If you want a good, touching movie mixed with comedy... see this movie.

GREAT MOVIE! mature 14+
This was a amazing movie! Great acting! It is about a boy faking metal problems to sell drugs at school. There is some school bullying as in punching and swirly's. There is some language but it can be handled by mature 14+. There is also a sort of "sex" scene. It does not show any nudity, but just kissing. When they are done he tells the school it was his "first time" which tells you it was sex.
