"There's a cello in your house now"

A stuttering boy is a surprise recruit for a competitive, high-school debate team in Jeffrey Blintz' "ROCKET SCIENCE," one of the most enjoyable films I have seen in a long time.
I watched the 2007 film last night on DVD, and will watch it again before it is due back at the library.
REECE THOMPSON plays Hal Hefner, the recruit who can't say the word "pizza," let alone spit out the rapid-fire arguments of Ginny Ryerson (ANNA KENDRICK), the brilliant debater who tabbed him for the team.
Hal is falling for Ginny just as the viewer begins to suspect her motives in "ferreting out the debating talent from the masses," as she explains on a school bus ride.
"Rocket Science" is my favorite type of film -- a well-written gem that sports memorable lines worthy of repeating.
Lewis Garrles, a younger boy who lives across the street from Ginny, shows a book of Kama Sutra positions to Hal in one scene. Lewis laments that his dad doesn't keep track of all of the positions:
"He could be the Kama Sutra Barry Bonds and no one would know it."
This film is full of such lines.
The filmmakers avoid easy emotional answers, which is another reason why I love "Rocket Science."
There's a memorable scene when Hal realizes he has been betrayed, and in his anger he chucks a cello through the front window of Ginny's house.
Later, he explains: "It's one of those two, love or revenge, I'm not really sure which one. But it's one of those two that made me throw a cello through somebody's window. You figure it out."
