"Not an Artist” is such a sweet, offbeat, hilarious and heartfelt film. Imagine adults taking a break from the outside world to pursue their wildest dreams and ready to reenter the normal world knowing themselves better.

Comedy diehards will be drawn to this film for the name recognition of the cast alone, but fans of character-driven ensembles will get a kick out of this as well.

Although its deeper philosophical musings remain muddled, this quirky character-driven comedy is uneven yet consistently amusing, thanks primarily to a top-notch ensemble cast.

B+

The picture remains modest in execution, but Pappas and Teicher secure a few big laughs during the journey, and perhaps some knowing nods of appreciation from anyone who’s struggled with their self-expression.
