Review of The Art of Getting By (2011) by Dann M — 31 Dec 2011
Freddie Highmore and Emma Roberts deliver an interesting and somewhat unconventional romantic drama. The Art of Getting By is a character piece about two misfit high school students looking for deeper meaning, each in their own way, and eventually finding a kindred spirit in each over.
Both Highmore and Roberts give good performances and have a solid onscreen chemistry that gets the audience invested in their characters. However, there are a few side-plots being juggled that gum up the works and breaks down the flow of the film.
Yet, The Art of Getting By gets by all the distractions and gives a sincere story about the struggle of adolescents and finding a way in the world.
