The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Was watching this tonight and found that I was able to relate to the main characters as they are "outsiders" and each had their own quirks and they were friends despite them.  I loved the fact that for once the focus was not on the popular kids, instead it was on those are often ignored or the subject of ridicule. 

There seems to be a growing number of films from the underdog's perspective, a lot of them are embellished and portray the underdog having super powers or various other things where as this film was more believable as it didn't try to change them it showed the strength of love and friendship. They accepted everyone for who they were. 

As an outsider during my school life I liked the fact that it portrayed a regular group of teens rather exaggerating it.
