Movie Preview: The Assassination of a High School President
Not long ago I watched Rocket Science for a second time and was struck all over again by how superbly Reece Thompson (pictured, right) captures the whole Awkward Teen thing. In Assassination of a High School President, he's at it again — though this time his character is ever so slightly cooler and more self-assured than Rocket Science's Hal. In Assassination he plays a sophomore high school student who finds himself teaming up with an unlikely friend, popular girl Francesca Fachini (Mischa Barton), to solve a case of stolen SAT exams.
Rocket Science: Charming, But Not Quite Enough
Rocket Science is the kind of movie that people, including me, will describe as charming or endearing. The problem with the film — the first narrative feature from Oscar-nominated director Jeffrey Blitz, who directed Spellbound — is that it's not quite as charming as it thinks it is.
Rocket Science centers on Hal Hefner (Reece Thompson), a meek high schooler with a serious stutter and a wrecked home life.
