"How To Be" starring Rob Pattinson

"How To Be" starring Robert Pattinson, what can I say, it was extremely entertaining, in which I enjoyed every moment of the movie. I was fortunate to attend the SOLD OUT screening of "How To Be" directed by Oliver Irving at the Burbank International Film Festival this past Saturday. I arrived a few hours early due to the high demand of cravings to see Rob Pattinson light up the screen once again. I knew seating might be a problem, so I made sure I got a good seat. This time, aside from his familiar strong and heart melting character he plays in Twilight, Rob brought a more depressing-dramatic and somewhat comedic aura to the film. It was like you just wanted to feel sorry for his character, but adored him for his full heart.

The synopsis of the film:
"A wry coming-of-age comedy about twenty-something Art (Robert Pattinson) who gets dumped by his girlfriend, moves back in with his parents and hits a quarter-life crisis. Art uses inheritance money to indulge in retail and new age therapies only to end up enlisting the help of an eccentric self-help guru, Dr. Ellington (Powell Jones). Arts painfully funny journey to define his existence brings to the fore the dysfunctional relationship he has with his parents and the importance in his life of his odd-ball friends. How To Be is a timely look at increasingly common phenomena: grown-up children living at home, frustrated creativity and self-help. "

The appropriate reactions were reacted, people screamed once Rob's picture was visible on the screen, people laughed during the comedic scenes and people "aaawwed" when Rob's character Art faced various depressing and humiliating scenes. The movie presented different emotions, and the audience seem to react with great interest, not to mention a round of applause as soon as the movie ended.

Personally, I loved the movie, not mainly because it starred Rob but because he brought realistic emotions to the movie and did a really great job playing his character Art. Even though everyone is probably so use to seeing Rob as a heart throb vampire, who I can honestly say captured every Girl's heart who longs to find a man that portrays Edward, he did a phenomenal job with his character in this movie. I don't think there is nothing he can't do. He is a great actor and I can't wait to watch his dorky-like character again. To be honest, I adored his character and don't mind watching him portray somewhat a geeky, helpless, and depressing character. Overall, round of applause. And to lastly add on, not only did we see a different side of Rob but in bonus, we got to see him do what he also loves to do, and that's play music. I never knew he can play the harmonica too... I'm telling you, there is simply nothing he can't do. :) Good Job Rob!
