剧情介绍
本片曾入选了2011年的圣丹斯电影节。 乔治（弗莱迪·海默 Freddie Highmore 饰）是一个聪明的孩子，一直逃避学习的他总是在课堂上各种涂鸦，因此从未完成任何一门功课，将要面临无法毕业的困境。而校花莎莉（艾玛·罗伯茨 Emma Roberts 饰）在极受欢迎的外表下掩藏着忧伤的内心世界。莎莉和乔治发现彼此有着许多相似的地方而成为朋友，并且互相产生了好感。乔治在得知自己难以获得高中毕业证书后不顾一切地想要逃离高中生活，因为有一手绘画的绝活，所以想用此来约束自己，于是做了艺术家达斯汀（迈克尔·安格拉诺 Michael Angarano 饰）的学徒。达斯汀看到了乔治身上的潜质，乔治也似乎找到了人生的方向，但他长期以来的懒散作风却阻碍着他的进步......Believing the quote that you are born alone, die alone and everything else is an illusion, George doesn't see the point of life, school, or homework. Then he meets Sally and he now has a reason to go to school and make friends, even if he's not ready to admit to himself or to her that he likes her. The school's principal and art teacher introduce him to an alumni, and successful artist, Dustin, who can help guide George along life's path, but other distractions start surfacing, and George might not even be able to graduate from high school.
