I don't know why critics are beating the crap out of this thing. The Art Of Getting By is not awful, it's just average. But the thing that keeps this movie from being mediocre is the chemistry between Friedie Highmore (who has been gone from the face of the Earth for 5 years) and Emma Roberts.

This is a couple that is very likeable and you want them to wind up together. But the movie surrounding them doesn't live up to their great chemistry. Sure, there's some funny and sweet moments, but the whole movie's one giant cli'che.

It does nothing new, and the acting, character development, or writing doesn't distract me from that. Also, the movie feels very rushed and no character feels welldeveloped. TAOGB isn't terrible, in fact, I'd actually watch it again if I caught it on TV, but it's nothing you just have to see.
