Synopsis

Art (Robert Pattinson – TWILIGHT) is a struggling English musician. His girlfriend has left him and his career isn’t really going anywhere, but help is on the way and it comes in the shape of a self-help manual titled 'It Is Not Your Fault'. Art is mesmerised by the revelations he finds in the book and his sense of gratitude is so overwhelming, that he decides to invite the old author of the volume to come to London and live with him. And his parents…

4.0 out of 5 stars Little bit dark and well written comedy. Worth a watch., 19 May 2009
Very amusing look at a 1/4 life crisis, well written and executed.
The funniest bit has to be when he decides to let all his pent up anger out on the tree and lampost after a last ditch attempt to bond with his mother and father.
Nice to see that the talented Robert Pattinson still isnt allowing himself to be typecast, which could have so easily happened after Harry Potter and off of the back of Twilight.

5.0 out of 5 stars BRILLIANT, 30 April 2009
By Khrissa D. Barcelon "~kd" (Melbourne, VIC - Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is absolutely brilliant.

I've seen this film at the Australian screening and it's just amazing. Robert did an awesome jov as Art the struggling 25 year old at the centre of the story. Oliver Irving is a fantastic director and I'm hoping to see more of his work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, 30 April 2009
I pre-orderd this movie earlier in the month, but it was released on IFC Festival Direct on April 29th and I was able to watch it. This movie is really good. I love the random yet real feel it has to it. It is so relatable on so many levels, but it's also hilarious.. Everyone in this film did an exceptional job. SUPPORT THIS FILM AND IT'S ACTORS BY GETTING THE WORD OUT AND PURCHASING IT! You will not be disappointed.
