I watched this movie once and then i completely forgot about it so one day i wondered: 'why did i give this movie a 6? it sounds like a good movie and the cast also isn't that bad..' so i watched it again and well, no wonder i forgot all about it, there's just not much special about it. just the usual teen drug love movie with a problematic dad. i wouldn't say i hated it tho. it's not a film everyone should have seen, but a movie that's nice to watch, cause you just don't have to think that much about it afterwards..

6/10 - depressing and frustrating, but great performances throughout

There are some films from this director I liked, I consider them my favourites, but this is an average film. I always like his film story lines and characters, something better than what other filmmakers fails to do. This is another interesting theme and this time it was about the drug addiction. The story of a guy named Charlie, who just turned 18 and being released from a rehab camp for underage people. But his father who runs for the governor wants him to go for adult's rehab right away. He does not want to, but after no other option, he joins and meets a troubled girl Eva. A little romance blooms and followed by how it all ends bring a full stop to the narration. Looks a good theme, but the purpose was confusing. Of course, the drugs related issues, especially the film focused on the road of recovery from such addition. But it stayed more real than cinematic twists and turns. One way you will know how it all ends, but some of the characters were unpredictable. The end was good, concludes with a little message. Nick Robinson was really great. Initially I thought it was Jack O'Connell's film, mistook Nick Roinson as him from the poster. Lacks depth in narration, but really a nice film. At least you should watch it for Rob Reiner, if you're not convinced enough. 6/10

Besides the unoriginal plot, which ah been repeated a thousand times... Its predictable, but i can skip that, watch it if you want to have a look at another movie about heroine, always fun. But the major problem, the thing that is still messing with my head is... (drum roll) where the hell is Eva? I mean, they could have shown her laying on a street high AF, but no, never... if the idea was to make us wonder where she is, so we can relate to charlie get the same kind of feeling, they got it, the only thing you can relate to in this movie, is that you and charlie both have no clue where the hell she is.

Charlie (Nick Robinson) is white and privileged and at rehab, whose dirty little secret is that they have a high failure rate. Charlie is struggling with addiction and his best friend is his dealer (Devon Bostick). He meets Eva (Morgan Saylor) at rehab, who is also an enabler. Charlie's dad is a movie star running for governor of California (Cary Elwes). The film brushes on the inability of rehab to be successful unless the user wants to change. Heroin addiction is lifetime, even to someone off the substance for decades, the urge comes back. As of this writing, I have one relative in jail (twice in rehab) and another in rehab for addiction for the third time. The truth is, these stories are not like my massage parlor and don't typically have a happy ending. Drama with numerous light comedic moments. Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Morgan Saylor, Aubrey Reynolds)

A great movie with deep moments and amazing acting especially by Nick Robinson.

What's the deal with Rob Reiner? He had a few sparks of greatness early in his career: "This Is Spinal Tap", "When Harry Met Sally", "Misery", "The Princess Bride". But when was the last time you even heard his name? Was it when "The Bucket List" was being panned? There's no need to watch "Being Charlie". You've seen it before, done better. I knew exactly what was going to happen; there were even times I could predict the next line of dialogue. The story is about a spoilt little rich kid who has trouble with drugs and goes to rehab where he meets the typical group of wisecracking misfits, the cute girl to become his romantic interest, and the shockingly down-to-earth ex-jailbird to be his drug counsellor. His dad, played by a now-unrecognizable Cary Elwes, is a politician who, don't you know, seems to care more about his career than his relationship with his troubled son. Will he realise the error of his ways and reconcile with the young drug user? Watch this movie to find out. Or don't. You already know how it's going to work out. Nick Robinson can be charming in movies and is obviously a future star. This is the kind of movie where you don't know if the actors could have done a better job; the screenplay gives them nothing new or interesting to work with. Hence Robinson always seems to be working from an ancient handbook - but so were the screenwriters. I believed Robinson in the moment, but didn't believe his character. He doesn't seem like a hardened drug user. Why is this character on drugs, anyway? This is a question the movie doesn't try to answer.

This movie came across to me as quite the downer, and didn't seem at all to be a Rob Reiner directed film. Nick Robinson is believable as the defiant and sarcastic Charlie Mills. He's 18-years-old and a drug addict and has gone to one treatment facility after another, only gaining brief periods of sobriety. Nick is from a very well-to-do family with his father (Cary Elwes), a former movie star running for Governor of California. The bulk of the film will center on Nick's rehab attempts, as he continually flaunts and disregards the recovery program's and counselors recommendations, thinking he has all the answers. Unfortunately, it will take a tragedy to finally get his attention. There's lots of unlikable characters here, plenty of drug use, raw language, explicit sexual references, and some nudity. Overall, I had trouble caring about the characters here, and just found the movie to be more irritating than enjoyable.
