The Art of Getting By Full Movie Online
Looks like Fox Searchlight is adding another title to their summer slate, though they are nixing the title that might remind anyone of school or being in class.
Variety reveals that Homework starring Emma Roberts and Freddie Highmore has been renamed The Art Of Getting By (meh) and has given a June 17th limited release bow to be followed by a wider release in July. It will come up against some stiff competition that weekend with Bad Teacher, Green Lantern and Mr. Poppers Penguins all headed to cinemas. But for those looking for something a little smarter to go with their tub of popcorn, this might be a better bet that weekend.
Co-starring Michael Angarano, Elizabeth Reaser, Rita Wilson, Sam Robards and Blair Underwood the coming-of-age story centers around George, a lonely and fatalistic teen whos made it all the way to his senior year without ever having done a real day of work, is befriended by Sally, a beautiful and complicated girl who recognizes in him a kindred spirit. Fox Searchlight picked up the film at Sundance where it got good notices, and itll likely be light dessert after the heavy meal of The Tree Of Life which the studio will open next month..While Fox Searchlights $3-million Sundance pick-up formerly titled Homework now boasts the new title The Art of Getting By, rookie Gavin Wiesens beauty and the nerd romance starring Emma Roberts (Scream 4) as a gorgeous girl who sees merit in lonely depressive Freddie Highmore (Finding Neverland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), has held onto its opening date of June 17thfor a platform releasewhich will expand nationally in July.
Its a fresh spin on the high school love story. It manages to take cliche componentsthe smart but unmotivated loner, the pretty misunderstood girl, the over-worked momand create an honest story with just enough Hollywood polish and fantasy. It was pleasant, funny, complex and accurate.While Fox Searchlights $3-million Sundance pick-up formerly titled Homework now boasts the new title The Art of Getting By, rookie Gavin Wiesens beauty and the nerd romance starring Emma Roberts (Scream 4) as a gorgeous girl who sees merit in lonely depressive Freddie Highmore (Finding Neverland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), has held onto its opening date of June 17thfor a platform releasewhich will expand nationally in July.
The film, clearly aimed at young women, nabbed mixed early reviews.Hence college student Nora Chute may represent the target demo better than the older male trade reviewers below:Its a fresh spin on the high school love story.

Facile, formulaic and utterly charm-free, Homework runs 84 minutes with nary a sincere emotional moment. Helmer Gavin Wiesens screenplay doesnt add much to the disaffected-youth genre apart from a soulless gloss, and young Freddie Highmore, as the disaffected but artistically gifted George Zinavoy, is trapped in his own mannerisms, consistently reminding the viewer that hes supposed to be playing someone special, yet never closing the argument. Sundance pickup by Fox Searchlight will ensure wide exposure, but word of mouth could stop pic in its tracks. Watch_The_Art_of_Getting_By movie_Online
