This is just the type of role that the late-great Anton Yelchin thrived in. Quirky, off-kilter, and yet charming young man, this time someone who is trying to get by selling drugs in a high school. Except, he's way more interested in becoming the 'psychiatrist' of the entire student body, with only a principal (played by Robert Downey Jr.) in his way. It's almost like a spiritual sequel/remake to Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The plot doesn't necessarily take you places unexplored in cinema, but the performances and unique aesthetic make it 90 minutes worth checking out. And hey, Anton gets to punch Downey in the face, that's worth seeing right?
