Rocket Science

This is kind of one of those "coming of age" movies like Juno or Napoleon Dynamite, but slightly different. It's different because it's a movie about the debate team. Take the movie "Rudy" and change all of the football stuff to debate team. Seriously, I'm sure the director got his ass kicked in high school regularly because he was on the debate team, so he decided to make a movie about debate team, as if anyone cared. Stuttering kid has trouble talking, until he finds a hot girl (on the debate team) who tries to recruit him (for reasons you find out later in the movie). The girl leaves the school and the stuttering kid is pissed when he finds out she's seeing another debater. The movie is actually more amusing than you'd initially think, but it's still not great at all. The kid from Super Bad (the fat one) is in it in a couple of scenes, but even he doesn't save the film.
