An easygoing film that's not as quirky as it wants to be and does just enough to make you glad you watched.
June 17, 2011
A dull yet extremely self-important drama about rich, badly parented kids who feel sorry for themselves.

For anyone not in a similar state of age-related solipsism - i.e., anyone outside the 16- to 25-year-old age bracket - this is more than a little annoying.

Gets by. Barely.

The vapidity of The Art of Getting By goes beyond the anthill-sized dramatic stakes. The dialogue, while occasionally epigrammatic, is tone-deaf to individual speech rhythms.

This film tries to be a rallying cry for the disenfranchised youth of today. Not being a disenfranchised youth of today, it was mostly lost on me.

There are several lessons to be learned in "The Art of Getting By," though all arrive too late to save this well-meaning but dreadfully executed movie.

None of this first feature from writer-director Gavin Wiesen rings true, and most of it is preposterous and self-conscious.

The Art of Getting By wants to be sweet and insightful, but ends up scattered and slight.
March 02, 2013
Excellent performances by Freddie Highmore and Emma Roberts make this one an enjoyable watch.
