  • the scene where he's riding the bike is like a block from my house.

  • This is one of my fav movies one reason being that it had an ending that was neither happy or sad but it just had a feel good ending this movie makes me happy

  • "GLORY GLORY HALLELUJAH"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • man love for the Violent Femmes

  • Skiiiirt

  • "There's a cello in your house now"

  • this trailer was mad funny lol

  • Policy Debaters are the ones who can really appreciate this movie.

  • I seriously thought that he was gonna learn how to speak fast and pwn her in the final debate but no.

  • Funny movie!!!

  • LOOOL , i talk like him Really!!

    and this fucking girl dont like him just cuz he dont talk fast?!

  • This is one of the best movies ever created... of course my opinion is subjective, but this film happens to be "my life"... or something like that... Maybe :D just saying...

  • i thought this had a happy ending....was that just me??

  • Don't know why, but, I LOVE this movie

    And there rendition of The Battle Hymn of the Republic

  • Anyone else find the ending extremely depressing?

  • it's funny because westminster is the best debate school

  • Aaron Yoo and Nicholas look funny here, haaha

  • Wait, they let those kids play with bows and arrows in gym class?!?! Not fucking fair. We had enough trouble playing wallball and running in the hall when i was young...

  • epic movie

  • Oh Reece Thompson <3

  • Am I the only one who thinks that the two protagonist kids in the movie kissing look like brother and sister?

  • ajajaaaa more movies of fucked up people you gotte love independent films too

  • (cont...) That is a trend that is shown even as far up as the justice system where true justice is sacrificed for the letter of the law and armies of lawyers spend their lives finding loopholes and semantics to free criminals and condemn the innocent. Something is seriously wrong here. Having said that, this was a very good movie on an entirely different level. It is just that this skewed and distorted system was what made the biggest impression on me.

  • @jerramy that was really profound, except I didn't know what the hell you were talking about

  • @xLUCYxINxTHExSKYx - lol! Just saying that instead of debating, they are just talking real fast. They've lost track of the whole idea of debate.

  • @jerramy It's not all debate. Policy Debate is a specific style of debate where logical use of enormous amounts of evidence is the norm. There is still Lincoln-Douglas, Classic, etc. Policy is much more than just reading as fast as possible and your remark might come off a little better if it didn't come from a place of ignorance.

    The movie didn't even show a rebuttal (the second half) where styles changes significantly. You should research Policy Debate before you critique it.

  • @jerramy you forgot to mention that jewish people are aholes and control the legal sytem

  • For a non-American, this is a real shocker to know that debating has been reduced to a time limit where participants talk as quickly as they possibly can to get as much in as possible. It is like a parody of itself. As usual, Americans take the rules and manipulate them as an art rather than following the spirit of the law, which is, to use logical arguments to support their case and refute the others. They don't even care what the subject of debate is, it is the process rather than the idea.

  • It's my favorite movie!

  • I just watch this movie, but I dun get it :(

    any one tell what its bout ? wtf problem with that dude ? the girl sucks !!! she leave him . . . 

  • @nirwanaeathell Anna kendrick uses hal to try and get her the national debate title, because she thinks that people with disabilities are smarter. Hal has a speech problem, so she tries to use him for the debate team. He thinks that she really likes him, but he finds out she was just using him. He falls in love with her but wants to get revenge on her for hurting him, so he gets Anna's old partner that she loved as revenge. Thats why its called rocket science; its refering to love.

  • Loved itt so muuuch :D

  • Omg he's so cutee!! I love this movie!

  • I believe the girl who performed Ginny is Bella's friend (Jessica) in Twilight...

  • An obnoxiously pretentious movie that tries too hard to create something too unusual and interesting. Couldn't stand it when I first saw it... still can't stand it now.

  • @TheLogicJunkie i do like the movie, but I get what you're saying. What I gathered was that the film tried a little to hard to be different and individual but in the end created something something sort of unrealistic that did in fact look like it was trying too hard. Maybe my soft spot is the fact that I'm a debater. :)

  • @FilleFraiche1 Well, yes, that can bias us, when we're into something, and then a movie is made about it.

  • 27 people are living a rocket science life....

  • This is a terrible movie, and it is not even proper debating.

  • dident get what it was about..from the trailer

  • This film is bound to be a cult movie.

    Yeah, I think it would.

  • The movie deserved a better ending

  • what is this song?

  • @AlphabetSoupCircus

    Blisters in the Sun - Violent Femmes

  • @JasontheXII no, the one at the beginning. :P

  • @AlphabetSoupCircus That would be "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" as performed by Eef Barzelay- he does the entirety of the soundtrack in the film. (And if you haven't seen it, it's HIGHLY recommended.) :D

  • @AlphabetSoupCircus  blister in the sun by the violent femmes and battle hymn of the republic by clem snide

  • awww i wanna see this (: i'm on my school's debate team lol. this looks really cute!

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARON !

    <3

  • reece is sooooooo fucking hot

  • anyone know any movies similiar to this?

  • @roda2007 Well, as you can see, "Rushmore" is recommended off to the side. I'd say the movie "The Squid and the Whale" has a similar genre, but is much more dark. A classic would be something like "The Graduate"- all great coming of age films.

  • wierd movie... kinda crapy ending...

  • I relate...

  • love this movie. i was a lot like this kid in HS. completely in a shell. very true to life. i liked it.

  • "Wanna see a bra?" HA HA HA!

  • @cuntsmasher2 i thought it was "her bra?"

  • its a naive movie, typical hollywood clichees and a typical ending that is both happy and wants to have a meaningless meaning. in other words-it sucked

  • @carmilache you should watch it again. Obviously, you didn't get it.

  • No wonder Anna Kendrick got that part in Up in the Air - the director must have seen her brutally-smart debating character in Rocket Science and thought "We have to have her in our movie!!!" The characters are so similar, but she plays their cut-throatness and softer sides so well. Bravo, Anna!

  • i loooove aaron

  • this is my favorite movie

  • I freakin love that movie.

  • Reminds me of Rushmore. I think I'd greatly enjoy this.

  • This feels so much like Adventureland, probably the music

  • This movie was really good and unsatisfying.

  • I remember when I first saw something about the making of this movie when it came out. I really wanted to see it. Haven't yet, but still really want to. Where can I find it, and whats the song in the trailer?

  • @connorqb17 see if you can find it on surfthechannel

  • @connorqb17 see if you can find it on surfthechannel. it's also instant viewing on netflix if you have an account.

  • @connorqb17 It's on Piratebay and Amazon - choose your poison :) Also this song was in the trailer for "Grosse Pointe Blank" (1997)

  • @connorqb17 and the song is "Blister in the Sun" by Violent Femmes

  • Love this movie! Part of it was filmed at my old high school :)

  • So is he a retard or just stupid?

  • @ShadowCrashed81

    He's neither. He's actually a very smart kid with a very bad stutter. He has smart things to say, but he physically has trouble saying them

  • i love this movie.its full of fun and most importantly,as the only stutterer in my class, i went through similar things myself.its real life.

  • i'm so glad i found this movie and bought it, it's so good i wish that i could work with the director one day

  • I love this movie.

    its amazing.

  • the most annoying movie ever

  • What is the song in the very beggining? Please, it sounds great

  • nice quality

  • Okay, I want to know all of the songs that are in this trailer. Except for blister in the sun by the violent femmes, I got that one covered. Anybody?

  • @Netse115 They are ALL Violent Femmes songs

  • @Netse115 just look 'em up in IMDb

  • Really loved this movie. "it's real life, not rocket science."

  • Oh look, Anna Kendrick does Rocket Science and has a cute voice here, yet she's much older than a sophomore. I wanna see this.

  • really really good movie, has an amazing meaning.

    the directer did such a good job!

  • love this film, one of my favourites. simple, yet effective, and a strange twist of satisfaction at the end

  • Good film though i will add not quite as good as the critics made out.

  • OH I liked this movie ^^

    I caught it on TV a few years ago - title caught my eye - very good movie, totally recommend it.

  • I love the girl Xd!!!!

    Pretty good girl ^_^!!

  • she's like 22 in this movie lol..they make her look really young..she's smokin tho

  • Looks like a real good movie. Why oh why was it never aired in some places!

  • I agree..it was a really good indie movie...its one of the few movies I can see more than once and not get tired of it

  • love this..

  • ok AMAZING MOVIE, but why did the girl just dump the guy like that and just stop talking to him and totally avod him? what did he do? and i didnt get what she was trying to say at the end? can anyone help me out...please

  • I'm pretty sure she didn't "dump" him, they were never dating. Why i think she stopped talking to him was because she knew he couldn't help her get the trophy, which was all she really wanted. I Think! That is just my take.

    But anyway, great movie! I think Rocket Science is my new favorite movie.

  • well it seems that she was trying to sabotage her school because she was practicing with the indian dude even when she was still at the school..(she tried recruiting a bunch of different challenged kids for the team) her goal was always to win the trophy, (remember the beginning?) she stopped talking to him and avoiding him because she was falling for him but she already had a plan in place..as for what she was saying at the end she was just continuing her speech after she stopped talkin to him

  • omg this movie was really sad..but had really funny parts..ANNA KENDRICK WAS AMAZING! haha shes awesome

  • Esta pelicula es buenisima esta a otro nivel de lo popular...a otro nivel !!! la recomiendo

  • good movie, anna kendrick and the rest of the cast do a great job portraying their characters.

  • "Do you know if she wears a bra?" "do you wanna see a bra?" xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
