Review of The Art of Getting By (2011) by Ccjohnson — 24 Jun 2021

The script is predictable, trite and not very interesting, the dialogue contrived and the music annoyingly adolescent. But: it is a movie for young people and as such it may be a good enough movie, however the plot is thin and there isn’t any real tension building.

It feels mostly like a young man’s own experiences and attempts at being cool, and then he wrote a movie. And then another but: the actors who somehow agreed to be in this movie certainly carry the weight of a bad manuscript.

Basically it feels like someone rich and influential in Tinseltown has a spoiled slacker kid who wrote a script and mom and dad made it possible.
