Rocket Science
Life is easier done than said.
Directed by Jeffrey Blitz
Produced by RocketScience, W B I Films
A warm, earnest coming-of-age comedy about an underdog teenager confronting his stutter through competitive debate, balancing humor with genuine emotional stakes.
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.
