Okay here's the best recollection of the movie I can come up with:

 

This guy transfers to a new school. He is unpopular at first. He starts giving people advice and eventually becomes the "school psychologist". He becomes more and more popular to the point where the school bully is helping him. He starts getting drugs involved by faking his symptoms to a real psychologist. The drugs start selling like crazy until one person nearly dies from an overdose. His popularity takes a big blow but people still come to for advice. Life returns back to normal.

 

Side-plot: He gets a girlfriend. Her father is the principal and doesn't trust him. Once he finds out about the drugs, he really despises the guy and tries to separate the pair. The daughter becomes alienated from her father and the father nearly commits suicide but the guy saves him.

 

Sorry for the vagueness :oops:

Lol I remember that movie but can't remember the name either, good luck getting it! :)

Charlie Bartlett :smile:

 

EDIT: It was easy to find since I knew two actors in it off the top of my head, RDJ and Kat Dennings.

Since you got your answer, it's time for a hijacking. I need to remember a movie as well.

 

I remember YEARS ago I saw a movie on TV (must have been like 1998-2000). Anyways, all I remember is its about some dude that shoots up an office building.

Dizzle, was it Runaway Jury? It might not be though, since this movie came out in 2003.

^ Sounds like an interesting movie.

 

Was it any good?

No problem. I actually haven't seen it since it first came out, might watch it again this weekend now that you reminded me :smile: .

no no no, you're all wrong. The movie OP is refering to is The Wackness starring Josh Peck. new kid [loser pot head type] has a psychologist buddy [also a dope fiend] who transfers him to his school. He than meets the psychologist's daugher, bangs her...and some other stuff happens, but the psychologist eventually trys killing himself...yada yada yada.

I liked it, but it was kind of tacky, even extremely exaggerated at times. But I'm a sucker for court/law movies.

While The Wackness is a good movie, Charlie Bartlett is the correct one that he is looking for. In The Wackness the kid supplies the psychologist with pot, and in CB the kid fakes symptoms so his psychologist gives him medicine which he then sells to other kids.
