Rocket Science

Hal is a 15-year-old high school student who stutters uncontrollably—a disability that, while relatively minor, can be socially alienating and painful. Determined to work through the problem, Hal makes a bold move: he joins the school debating team, plunging into breakneck speech competitions and gaining a much-needed push toward improvement.

Reviews

Patrick E. Abe

3/10

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
