This movie originally premiered as "Homework" at the 2011 Sundance Festival. I'm not sure why the title changed but "The Art Of Getting By" definitely suits the screenplay more...
This story is about a young budding artist (George played by Freddie Highmore) and his struggle through the last year of high school. Sally (Emma Roberts) comes to George's "rescue" by way of a heartwarming friendship. 
"The Art Of Getting By" has a very genuine feel to it and I really liked the way the reality of the trials and tribulations of each character shone through. The cast is wide and varied and I was nicely surprised with a cameo appearance of Alicia Silverstone (Clueless) in a very uncharacteristic role.Overall, not a huge block buster but I did enjoy the movie.
Playing in a theatre near you starting Friday, 17th June 2011.
