An astonishingly irrelevant piece of work...
November 18, 2009 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review… -
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.

Fans who love 'RPattz' even more than Edward Cullen should be satisfied. They'll be the only ones.
April 29, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
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.)

Audience Reviews for How To Be
-
Aug 15, 2014In answer to the question, "How To Be?" my suggestion would be "less boring and trite". Undoubtedly, this film proves what may have been lost in all the "Twilight" glitz: Pattinson can't act his way out of a paper bag. It's astonishing how his lack of talent is distinguishable even among the troupe of hack actors surrounding him in this movie. From bad lighting, to amateurish sound, to abysmal hair and makeup, there is almost no bottom to this fail-bag of a film.Christian C Super Reviewer

Sep 17, 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 past it all, he is good looking. Here he plays a depressed young boy who is going nowhere in life and has a horrible family. The film is reasonably short at 80 minutes and follows his journey out of the rut. It seems fairly low budget and quite likable once you get used to it (took me about 20 minutes to warm to it). Unusual characters, though possibly not for the average Twilight fan to enjoy.Nicki M Super Reviewer

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

Jan 01, 2010UGH! No idea why I watched it. I?m NOT a fan of Robert Pattison. If you have a depression problem keep away cause it might make ya worse! Basically the title is short a word as in how to be happy. Rob?s character can?t seem to be happy (& his Counselor blames his parents LMAO!!) His GF breaks up with him because he?s always sad blah blah blah? it was an independent movie that well usually those at least have original ideas (& are usually a nice break from Hollywood type stuff) but this is garbage FKym (c my community profile) R Super Reviewer
