Spoilers ahead
I recently viewed this film and found its synopsis intriguingly different from the actual storyline. It seems the provided summary might pertain more closely to the original book rather than the movie itself. In the film, Charlie is portrayed as an 18-year-old who is completing high school and on the brink of starting college, while Sam, his younger brother, is depicted at the age of 11 before the narrative jumps ahead five years.
