the teen comedy grows up. the art of getting by follows george (freddie highmore), a high school loner attempting to coast his way to graduation. george's life turns upside down when he strikes up an unexpected friendship with sally (emma roberts). george's friendship with sally soon turns romantic, but he's too timid to act on his feelings. when he finally does get the nerve, it's too late. add in the possibility of not actually graduating and george winds up right where he started, but with more determination- he not only wants to graduate and win over sally, he has to. the art of getting by mixes quirky with realistic, comedy with heart. both highmore and roberts deliver breakout performances, complimented by a supporting cast including blair underwood, rita wilson and alicia silverstone. this is the kind of movie john hughes would be making if he were still around today.
