the art of getting by
Posted by Alicia Silverstone on Jun 14, 2011



I recently did a tiny role in a film called The Art of Getting By. I loved the script so much! It’s a very sweet story about teen romance between two high school students in NYC. It’s also a coming of age tale about overcoming teen angst and figuring out what you want to do with your life. 
 
I saw the finished film, and I think it’s really good. It stars Freddie Highmore as George, an apathetic student befriended by Sally, a popular but complicated girl played by Emma Roberts. Other cast members include Sasha Spielberg, Marcus Carl Franklin, Ann Dowd, Maya Ri Sanchez, Blair Underwood, Ann Harada, Rita Wilson, Jarlath Conroy, Elizabeth Reaser, Andrew Levitas, Sam Robards, Michael Angarano, and yours truly!
 
This movie had me crying at the end, and my husband also loved it, so it’s good for big boys too! The Art of Getting By comes out on Friday, so check it out if you get a chance, and let me know what you think.

What movies do you plan to see this summer?

Looks great! I'm planning to take my son to see Cars 2 this summer. It'll be his first movie in the theater & he's loves cars so it should be a lot of fun :)

Freddie Highmore is all growed up ....he is awesome.

I can see I'm going to enjoy watching it

This looks great! Will it open in Europe?

I think it looks adorable, and I always go out of my way to see your stuff so count me in!

It looks like it would be a Sarah movie to me! I don't know if you remember this but a long time ago when I was a teenie bopper I had met you, Alicia Silverstone. It was very quick. You were walking downtown Vancouver with Jeff Golblum and some other lady. It was me and my girlfriend who ran over to say hi with excitment. You had told me that you were trying to be descreet. I apolagise,..I understand how it could get annoying. I wouldn't be able to live the life you live because I value my privacy to much, but that's just me! Anyhow I came across your site and was looking to learn some recepies. My boyfriend's the cook and doesn't like my cooking and so I want to improve. Great site and look forward to making a meal that has my boyfriends mouth watering. 

I plan on seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  I will definitely check this movie out.  It looks like a sweet and charming story.
