Rocket Science
Life is easier done than said.
Hal is a 15-year-old high-school student with a minor yet socially alienating (and painful) disability: he stutters uncontrollably. Determined to work through the problem, Hal opts for an extreme route – he joins the school debating team, which sends him on a headfirst plunge into breakneck speech competitions and offers a much-needed boost toward correcting the problem.

The first thing I found WRONG about this movie is the title. "Rocket Science" suggests a movie like "October Sky," which IS about the Math required to calculate and understand rocketry. This (somewhat) off beat look at high school via a tongue-tied underachiever who is head hunted for the school debate team is more like "The Orator's Progress." (But accuracy won't/didn't sell the movie.) All in all, a better-than-average teen movie, but nowhere near "The King's Speech," which grandly promenaded into History on a similar subject. 3/10
