AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
thisanant Freddie Highmore was appropriate as child star ( Spiderwick Chronicles ) and he shines , in this movie , as a teen , not fitting in his surroundings but it is not a typical weird-teen drama , loved it because of its heart .
russellbrandistrash The main character is not likable. I watched this movie for the first 10 minutes and took notice of his repetitive spiel. Almost like a tape recorder he goes on and on about how life is meaningless due to the fact of mortality. *Spoiler* I saw Emma Roberts come into frame, marking the start of their relationship and simply refused to believe that this woman can be attracted to something so cringe, angsty and unambitious. A pseudo intellectual loser that is dis-likable from the very first frame. Cant imagine how this could be that great of a movie. Im imagining its a 4/10 at best.Turned off the movie and decided to go watch Amelie instead.
Srinivas G Phani With nothing to watch one evening, I happened to stumble across this little film called The Art of Getting By and I fairly enjoyed watching it. Now I don't expect much from 'such' films, if you know what I mean, and this film doesn't disappoint.The story is of a complicated teenager who has much better things in mind to appreciate than doing mindless homework. Then comes the very straight-forward, clichéd heroine who is plain ordinary and falls for this extra ordinary guy. They share some moments and then enters another older hero and now the heroine shifts attention.The cinematography is a saving grace. It makes the film a lot tolerable. So is the music. Story and screenplay is kept as free from excess drama as possible and the editing is good too. Emma Roberts the best performance of all in an ordinary role. She keeps her character just that way and that is why she is the best. And also, she looks very beautiful. Freddie Highmore is perfectly cast but his performance mainly suffers from his shaky character. Rest of the cast is adequate and forgettable.Director Gavin Weisen surely had some serious character stuff in mind but the story never fully develops into something but instead goes round and round over some done-to-death situations.
mustafaakajgani Alright, i just registered because of this movie, it is so full of BS, its type of movie which makes people really angry after watching it, but if someone likes that than OK... and who the f gave it rating of 6.4.. more like 0.4. Hm now what to write for another five lines.. in movie that girl Sally is shown like a little slut, but no sex scenes anywhere, another minus to the movie when they are already showing her as a slut, to add that when i am on the subject... if anyone decides to watch movie anyway, watch it like 50 minutes and shut it down there, until there main char is kinda cool, consider that an end of it or you'll be sorry for not listening to me..
