A wry comedy about Art (Robert Pattinson), a frustrated musician, undergoing what he sees as a quarter life crisis. This is not helped when his girlfriend dumps him and he has to move back in with his middle class parents, who are far from thrilled with the idea. Art's only friend, agoraphobic Ronny, is holed up in a London flat in a daze of nitrous oxide and electro music. Art discovers self-help guru, Dr Levi Ellington, author of 'It's Not Your Fault'. Using inheritance money, Art pays for Dr Ellington to move in with him and his parents becoming Art's full-time life coach, shadowing him wherever he goes. How to Be is a charming comedy with a winning cast.

The British style and tone of this film was much to be appreciated. It took some time to adjust to the slower than normal pace of a movie of this kind but much to my enjoyment once I got into the groove. The script was wonderful and the movie was full of hilarious bits—loved the characters! I wondered though, have I seen something like this before?
