Yet another best-selling novel turned made-for-TV movie, The Bad Mother’s Handbook depicts the lives of three very different women, who just so happen to be related: the grandmother, who is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, her daughter, who is currently experiencing an identity crisis of sorts, and the smart yet pubescent granddaughter. The film was originally aired on the British network, ITV, in 2007.
Robert Pattinson serves as a co-star in this movie, playing the nerdy yet hilarious family friend, Daniel Gale.
How to Be
An independently produced comedic drama, How to Be takes a look at a disenchanted young man, Art, and his attempt to pull his life together.

Things begin to take a turn for the better when his girlfriend dumps him and the young man dives into a self help book, becoming somewhat obsessed with the book’s author.
The lead character, Art, is played by none other than Robert Pattinson.
