Rocket Science
8 out of 10
Okay, last night I watched Rock Science. It was all alone on a shelf at Hollywood Video. I really liked how it is unlike most high school based movies, which are based on the stereotypes. It focused on fifteen year kid with a stutter, Hal. Hal was a very well developed charater, which really made you feel the pain he felt trying to be “normal”. Having to grow up with a stutter myself, I could relate. But anyway, I really liked this movie. Rent it, it is pretty good.

So I watched this movie after it was recommended here. And I got the sense that the highschool was much like mine, but of course a highschool is a highschool they are probably just about the same everywhere, right? After seeing the cafeteria, and the little green chairs, and the wooden counter with two outlets where I just knew that 4 microwaves belonged … this is my old highschool! Why a movie about a New Jersey kid was filmed in Baltimore, in my small private Catholic all girls school, I’ll never know… maybe they needed some money!
Just saw this movie again. Great! oh and according to IMDb this movies was filmed primarily in Baltimore. so it might of been your school.
