Hal Hefner is an average sophomore at Plainsboro High School in New Jersey. He stutters and suffers the daily indignities of a typical teenager. With only a little encouragement, Hal falls in love with the star of the debate team, Ginny Ryerson and finds himself suddenly immersed in her ultra competitive world of high school debating, with its players, its politics and its own set of rules.

MOVIE REVIEW

I watched Rocket Science nearly two months ago and forgot to write a movie review for it, so forgive me if this analysis is a bit abridged.
