Contact the Diversions Editor atdive@unc.edu Diversions ‘Charlie Bartlett’ hits the shallow end BY RACHEL BRODY STAR WRITER Charlie Bartlett is just your average super-rich kid who decides to sell prescription drugs to his feliow students in order to be popular. And in an age in which Ritalin is as accessible as Skittles, there are plenty' of laughs to be had watching Charlie scam every local psychia trist into prescribing him medica tions to help everything from OCD to depression. Charlie then holds impromptu therapy sessions at school in which he analyzes the psychological con dition and sells the appropriate drug to the student. TTie film flirts with a solid satire of high school angst, but some of the themes of depression, alcohol ism and drug overdose lack the emotional distance to be funny, while also lacking the attention to be serious. As the students pour their hearts out in Charlie’s “office,” the boys’ bathroom, Charlie never really impresses with his advice. He is supposedly developing MOVIE/?FV/fW CHARLIE BARTLETT ickirCrk into a caring and empathetic character, but his evaluations of his peers’ problems don’t extend far beyond setting up unlikely couples. Anton Yelchin, in the titular role, fits the part of the awkward misfit, with his scrawny frame and calculated gestures. But when the scenes call for depth, Yelchin barely scrapes the surface. If the film had gone with a more developed actor, maybe “Little Miss Sunshine’s Paul Dano, for exam ple, it’s fun to wonder if “Charlie Bartlett" would have achieved more of the profundity it was searching for. While the plot and Yelchin are problematic, the rest of the cast is Are you currently experiencing Si PA,N (IS wlw around one or both of your lower Wlw WISDOM TEETH?

His sarcastic and disinterested handlings of the mischief around his school are funny and reminis cent of real life school adminis trators. He finds a good balance between the apathetic administrator and the concerned father, even when his character’s actions seemed contrived.
