Rocket Science is a film directed and written by Jeffrey Blitz about a high school boy with a heavy speech impediment who gets convinced to join the speech team. The film follows the main character Hal through the trials of High School while he searches for answers to life's "big questions". The movie is an endearing comedy/drama, which is held together by the lead actor Reece Thompson. The film had a rather large budget of $4,500,000 but a gross revenue of $755,774. Blitz shot the film over a short 30 days The film was distributed by Picture House and HBO films in 2007. In article Blitz said that he wanted the cinematography to "tell a story that was equal parts deadpan and suggestive of [the TV show] the Real World". I saw this film when it came out in 2007 and immediately fell in love with how real but yet endearing it was. It has since become one of my favorite films and I recommend to anyone who enjoys movies will smart and quick dialogue as well as a real life aspect.
