Scott has been a case of arrested development since his firefighter dad died. He spends his days smoking weed and dreaming of being a tattoo artist until events force him to grapple with his grief and take his first steps forward in life.
"The most content-filled and square movie from director Judd Apatow (Virgin at 40) The Art of Being Adult is a mix of biographical drama and fiction. The basis of this story is the personal journey of Pete Davidson (Bodies Bodies Bodies), the protagonist and screenwriter of the movie. However, as Davidson does not have a strong enough name to sell a biographical film, Apatow ends up adding layers of fiction, even in the name of the main character, which is called Scott Carlin. Despite this ambiguity about the tone and the very course of the movie, The Art of Being Adult offers some inspired moments and knows how to combine well drama and comedy, when talking about the journey of this man in the shadow of the "American dream". A touching and enjoyable movie with good performances."
