You either, you can spend your whole life searching and a great portion of this part of your life searching and I think it's about learning that you can't always have the answers in a way. Coz that's what Charlie Bartlett always has the answers and then in the end he realises that its okay to actually sometimes realise that you don't. \"\u003cbr/\u003eRobert Downey Junior: \"And reach out a little bit. \" \u003cbr/\u003e11. Film Clip \" Charlie Bartlett\"\u003cbr/\u003eCharlie Bartlett  looks set to become a classic amongst high-school teen movies. \u003cbr/\u003eJon Poll directs Anton Yelchin as Charlie Bartlett - a modern day Ferris Bueller.  \u003cbr/\u003eHaving been expelled from private school he is forced to begin a new life at a regular high school.  \u003cbr/\u003eBut Charlie is an optimist and so hatches a plan to use his fearless scheming for the greater good. With the aid of his prescription drug obsessed uncle, he positions himself as the resident school psychiatrist, dispensing drugs and advice from the sanctuary of the high-school lavatories. \u003cbr/\u003eLike Ferris Bueller his joie de vivre and knack of having a clever answer to everything, make him the most popular guy at school.  \u003cbr/\u003eBy contrast, his character also has elements of Ferris' best friend Cameron Frye, who is burdened by the weight of adulthood before emancipating himself.  \u003cbr/\u003eRobert Downey Jnr plays principal Gardner, a character not unlike Charlie in his earlier years. The two initially pit themselves as adversaries before developing a friendship. \u003cbr/\u003e \"It's about this guy but its about the world as he sees it, as he interacts with it,\" Downey Junior told the AP.  \"And its about a generation, but its really about generations in accord and in conflict with each other and what they have to learn by listening to each other.\" \u003cbr/\u003e\"And it's about the optimism and the confidence that he brings to interact with the world and how that affects the school that he goes to,\" said Yelchin.  \u003cbr/\u003eLike Charlie actor Anton Yelchin spent his teenage years in a private school.   Asked how his experiences compare to Charlie he said he was under-confident at school,  but like Charlie was an A grade student. \u003cbr/\u003e\"For a little bit, for a little, so at some point in my life, for a couple years and high school and mostly before I went to high school I did really well. And then I lost total interest, I went for like 95 to 75 to fifty to 25 to like negative 5 maybe.\" \u003cbr/\u003eHe jokingly attributed his academic demise to his interest in acting: \u003cbr/\u003e\"I realised I wanted to be a thespian!\" he laughed.  \u003cbr/\u003eFor Downey Junior, his own school boy preoccupations appear to to have centred on the fairer sex. \"I think about Janay Gravino and watching her in typing class,\" he recalled. \" I think about Amber Gilbert driving a stick shift car and smoking clove cigarettes and making out with her. But it wasn't me that she wanted, it was some guy that I never saw who had a name, where is he?\"\u003cbr/\u003eDirector Jon Poll's casting of Downey in the role of Principle Gardner was a pertinent choice as Downey recalled a particular familiarity with the principle's office during his school days. \u003cbr/\u003eDowney revealed: \"I got to know my principles very well, by the time I got to Los Angeles I definitely liked throwing my fists around when I couldn't express myself. So yeah, a couple of expulsions there. \"\u003cbr/\u003eWhile farcical and slapstick at times, the film finely balances humour and teenage hedonism with more sombre modern day themes of self-help, psychology, prescription drugs and the necessity for answers. \u003cbr/\u003e\"That's the general I think, idea of being that age is that you're searching for, for whatever it is, it doesn't necessarily  have to be a particular kind of answer but you're searching, coz that's what it is, you know.\" said Yelchin. \u003cbr/\u003eHe added: \"You either, you can spend your whole life searching and a  great portion of this part of your life searching and I think its about learning that you can't always have the answers in a way. Coz that's what Charlie Bartlett always has the answers and then in the end he realises that its okay to actually sometimes realise that you don't. \"\u003cbr/\u003eRobert downey Junior: \"And reach
