The Hollywood Reporter -
Yelchin delivers one of those performances that pop eyes... It's a breakthrough role.

|
Variety -
Rollicking story of a rich kid whose wildly successful bid for popularity has him playing drug-distributing shrink to an entire high school boasts pitch-perfect faceoffs between upstart Anton Yelchin and alcoholic principal Robert Downey Jr. that could fuel a chemistry lab.

|
ReelViews -
I would classify Charlie Bartlett as a smart teen film. It's more ambitious and overall more successful than its '80s forebears even though the resemblance is unmistakable.

|
Village Voice -
Like most wannabe heroes of the eager-to-please teen comedy, poor little rich boy Charlie Bartlett (Anton Yelchin) is too charming by half and not nearly quirky enough.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
Robert Downey Jr. is an uncomfortable sight as the school's hard-drinking, overstressed principal.
