If you live in a decent-sized city, much less a metropolis, you probably see someone like George every day. Having fallen on hard times, George lives on the street; if he's not able to procure a bed at the chaotic, prison-like local shelter, he's apt to be sleeping in a cardboard box or, if he's lucky, the basement of an apartment building he's snuck into. He spends his days shuffling around the city, occasionally panhandling for change. A winter coat he's picked up from a church is pawned for money for a bottle.

The Art of Getting By
Directed by: Gavin Wiesen
Cast: Freddie Highmore, Emma Roberts, Michael Angarano
Running Time: 1 hr 24 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: June 17, 2011
Plot: A young man (Highmore) starts an unlikely relationship with a classmate (Roberts) and a successful artist (Angarano).
Who’S It For? Teenagers in similar mental states to Highmore and Roberts’ characters will have the best chance of not finding this entire story nauseating with its fabrications. Viewers should not go into this expecting a feel good comedy. Anyone actually trying to “get by” will likely be insulted.
Expectations: I didn’t know anything about this movie beforehand. The title seemed to indicate something about relationships; for some reason I was thinking maybe it’d be like a teen dating comedy, but I tried not to set myself up for anything solid. I did like Emma Roberts in Scream 4, and I was curious to...

Have you missed Clooney on the big screen lately? It’s beenabout nine months since we last saw him in a movie, the very timely lay-off picUp in the Air. We, personally longfor the days when you could catch George every week, but those days are longgone.
These days he spends most of his time hanging in Italy withhis lovely girlfriend Elisabetta and launching charity fundraising specials whenever something goes wrong somewhere.
We caught up with George last weekend at the Emmys, where hewas honored with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award. Not surprisingly, he talkedmostly about the honor and his TV days. But he also managed to very, verysuccinctly sum up his new movie TheAmerican, which opens in theaters today.
Here’s what he had to say.
