Film Review: Liberal Arts (2012)

This is a really great movie. Is it because Josh Radnor is one of the cutest people on the Earth? Probably. Or maybe it's because he's one of the best film makers. He wrote and directed and produced and starred in this movie, which is awesome. It's completely character driven (I love watching those) and the script is witty and really funny, but also really smart and moving at the same time. You really feel for/with these characters as you step into their lives for 97min.

Elizabeth Olsen (yes, Mary- Kate and Ashley's sister) is a joy to watch, she just reminds me of my friends and even myself, and I could stare at Josh forever as he smirks with his little bearded face and makes me laugh. Zac Efron made a surprise appearance as this guy in a red hat who becomes Jesse's (Radnor) friend that hangs around campus all the time and spouts out optimistic freethinking ideas that help Jesse through his present dilemma, "Everything is okay..." and it's really funny.

I found this movie very interesting and it made me think about my life. Not all movies do that, but all of Radnor's movies that I've seen have. The other one I saw was "Happythankyoumoreplease" which you should seriously check out, because he also wrote and directed that one as well. This film made me happy and gave me something to think about, and that's all I can ask for really :)
