So, there are definitely three scenes the director could not cut from Perks. The first would be where Sam, Patrick and Charlie drive through the tunnel and Sam stands up in the back of the pickup truck while they blast music because it shows the relationship all of them develop and it is the first time Charlie describes himself as feeling infinite. The other scene would be where Charlie kisses Sam during truth or dare because it shows Charlie's true love for Sam and how he really doesn't like Mary Elizabeth as much as he says he does. It also frays the friendship between Sam and Charlie. The last scene would be where Charlie comes to the rescue in the lunchroom while Patrick is being beaten up by Brad and his friends because it shows Charlie's loyalty to his friends and how Brad is more concerned with his image in front of his friends than his feelings for Patrick.
In order to fit length requirements, some scenes need to be cut out. One scene would be where Charlie and his family go to visit their relatives in Ohio because it just details the extended family's inner workings and doesn't progress the plot that much, and it could all be easily explained in a movie with a conversation between Charlie and his parents instead of a long trip that eats up valuable time. Another scene would be Charlie's sister's graduation because it just shows his sister moving on and again only details his extended family and how they react. It could be cut without backlash from readers.
