Movie Review: Liberal Arts

Liberal Arts

Directed by Josh Radnor

Starring Josh Radnor, Elizabeth Olsen, Zac Efron

Rating: C+

This is a plain and simple movie with no great revelations or emotional upheavals. Still, it is enjoyable. An admissions councilor returns to his alma mater to visit his favorite professor for his retirement party. Along the way he meets a co-ed who is 16 years his junior. They fall for each other and he grapples with the inappropriateness of their age difference. The movie doesn't end as expected as the story is more about the admissions professor and his journey toward personal growth than it is about his encounters with the young lady. The surprising path the man takes is refreshing and surprising. It added a bit of depth to an otherwise predictable movie.
