Poetic justice Is served in insightful LIBERAL ARTS

For a film about aging and romanticism, "Liberal Arts" feels like it needs a more mature script.

Liberal Arts maneuvers its story in a philosophical way that is anything but detached. There's a warmth here that reminds audiences why college -- and, dare we say, their core curriculums? -- matter.

As a comedy of manners, 'Liberal Arts' is perfectly likeable.But you might find its talky touchy-feeliness on the smug side.

There are some entertaining and moving scenes here, but, overall, it's a bit softhearted for my taste.
