Chris and Rebel Forever

The film was supposed to be a comedy, but it became a little heavy for me with all the pressure and responsibility this high school kid, Carson had, watching over his mother, watching over his grandmother, dealing with his deadbeat father, and trying to motivate any interest whatsoever in his writing club, not to mention getting any help whatsoever from his daffy school counselor. Rebel Wilson was the only character more lonely and sad than Colfer's, and she was also as doggedly loyal to his character, as he was to his dream of escaping his mundane life to realize his dream. Rebel Wilson has the rare talent of comedic timing, and never over acts or under acts, but plays off the other actors with just the perfect level of commitment. I could see these 2 characters being best friends, as they tend to complement each other perfectly.
