December 6, 2010Not bad. Heard mixed reviews on it - I didn't think it was awful, or fantastic. Full marks to Robert for doing something totally different than what he is typecast in by the Twilight movies. I don't think anyone would call him a pretty boy here, although obviously if you look pas... read more

August 29, 2010So-so movie. Quirky characters and a guy with the lowest self-esteem trying to "learn" about life. Get on with it already.

January 2, 2010"How to Be" does every nessasary to be really good, the problem is that it really isn't. There are lots of things I liked about, but it just doesn't come together that well. The music and characters are off-color and fun, but the movie really drags. Its like for every good thing ... read more

November 18, 2009Really funny and unique. Robert Pattinson was great at playing a lovable loser, you can't help but feel for him. His priceless timing and delivery made the movie so much fun. The story is so bizarre, but dealt with in a very real way. It had a really nice feel to it and I loved t... read more

I felt myself covering my eyes cause I was embarrassed for Robert Pattinsons character Arthur. The fact that his parents have him so messed up and believ... read more

November 27, 2009It was a very odd film. Not even the good kind of odd. To me, I felt like the filmmakers were trying to be odd and quirky. It just didn't work. I liked the second half better, the first half seemed....oh how should I put it? Poorly edited. They seemed to jump from one scene to th... read more

February 18, 2009No, I will not even attempt to deny that Rob was the reason why I wanted to see this film. However, he's not the only reason why I loved it. The Rob we see in Twilight, disappears in the role of Art, the frustrated artist going through a quarter-life crisis. He tries to find some... read more

January 25, 2010This was pretty good. It was one of those movies where you could relate to poor Arthur if you didn't have the best parents. I thought Robert did a good job playing an akward young adult, who's messed up by his lack of love and guidence from his parents. It's nice to see up and c... read more

A kind of problem child with whiskers bitten by love in this delayed coming of age family dyfunction outing, Pattinson impresses with his broad range, while doing daffy and despair at the same time. Full Review

Fans who love 'RPattz' even more than Edward Cullen should be satisfied. They'll be the only ones. Full Review

Steve Rhodes, Internet Reviews
Filled with British humor so dry that it's down-right parched. (Still, if you're a big fan of Robert Pattinson, I suspect you won't be disappointed.) Full Review
