Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Gabrielle Lajoie In my opinion, I thought this was a wonderful film for anybody who can relate. I've recently lived through this type of situation and the confusion, sadness and disjointedness Art feels trough out the film is all very... what word would be best to describe this... exact. Or almost. The film has been given the title of a comedy and, I agree. Though the production is more of a drama, you do have your sudden outbursts of laughter in those unexpected moments of comedic weirdness. I also appreciated the range of different actors in the film. It's in these types of movies you can actually see real acting talent. It's a must watch for any teen who is lost right now.

dancefloor-addict After spending some time in the UK I honestly thought I get British humor. After watching this, I truly think I don't.Although the movie is well produced, the character of Art played brilliantly by Pattinson, I found myself feeling mostly sorry for him and not seeing the funny part. I see the great job of all the people involved in the production but I can't say it suits my type of sense of humor. There were moments I smiled or half-smiled but never laughed at loud.So, over all, I don't regret watching the movie, neither would I recommend it as a great, funny comedy .

kimbopepe i went to the screening of How To Be in Boston, it was fantastic. This story has so many things to love about it. the story is sad but wonderful at the same time. Art is so pathetically lovable that it makes you want to give him a hug and tell him everything will be OK.I laughed so much during movie, it was clever and witty humor. i am a fan of Robert Pattinson, thats how i heard of the film. i like to see an actor in a few films before i decide if he/she is great, i now know for sure.Robert Pattinson was amazing in this, he is a truly gifted actor. We will see a lot of great films from him. Mike Pearce and Johnny White were wonderful too, i hope to see more from them. it seemed the whole cast blended well together.The movie was wheel put together and so enjoyable. i would definitely recommend it to everyone.After the show the director, oliver Irving, answered questions from the audience. it was really cool to hear about the filming and some funny little stories about behind the scenes. I'm so glad i went, now i just have to wait for the DVD.

areesahm I attended the DC Independent Film Festival's screening of How To Be here in Washington, DC.I loved it! I like quiet little movies like this. It's all dialogue-rich, and location sets, and natural composition. I thought the casting was perfect: the characters were organic and realistic, other than Dr. Ellington (the personal therapist) who was supposed to be a caricature rather than a true character in the film. This gave it a subtly surreal dynamic, which I thought was a nice touch.The script was great, IMO. I generally like good character sketches, though, so I suppose I could see people who are not interested in the same being less than thrilled with it. But I like the themes that Art brings to the story. They are typical and simple themes, like love, direction, family, friends, work, sadness, happiness. The characters are wholly irreverent and hilariously unique. For a very small film, this script is nicely fleshed out.The direction, production, and editing were great! I didn't catch any mistakes. They had a thorough cinematographer, too. I thought the lighting was pleasing, and the sound was mixed/edited nicely.And yes. Rob Pattinson's performance is stellar. For being a self-proclaimed "untrained" actor, he's got such a wonderful and daring on-screen presence. Art is pathetic...so freakin' pathetic. And Pattinson embodies him with such precise depth. His comedic delivery, his physical timing, his vocal performance; I swear, it's all flawless. He really reaches inside himself to find that space where depression and anxiety live, and he dives into the process of putting himself back together again. You really root for the guy, pathetic as he is. As Pattinson's fame swells exponentially in the coming years, this one will become a sleeper testament to his acting chops--teeny bopper vampire love stories be damned.
