Greetings again from the darkness. Coming-of-age teen dramas with a comedic flair that speak to that tumultuous period of life are rarely worthy of discussion. Along comes young director The Spectacular Now his adaptation of Tim Tharp's novel. While not perfect and falling just short of the level of those classics, it is nonetheless a welcome addition and quite interesting. It's tempting to call Sutter played The Spectacular Now up-and-comer a happy-go-lucky kid. He's the frat boy type - quick with a quip, smooth with the parents and girls, and the envy The Spectacular Now the masses. That term would be misapplied to a kid who not only is never without his flask, but also gives them as gifts. He uses his wit and booze to dull the pain of his aimless existence. We see his lackadaisical efforts at completing a college admission form, and it's used as a plot device to track Sutter's progression The Spectacular Now the film. is terrific as Sutter's perfect match After an extreme night of drinking and partying, Sutter gets awakened while laying in a neighbor's front yard.

John Hughes and Cameron Crowe proved they could present teen dilemmas in an entertaining way, The Spectacular Now this one follows the same structure. This is a dialogue-heavy story as Sutter The Spectacular Now Aimee struggle alone and together to figure out life's next steps. I will say that for the first few minutes of the movie, I found Sutter to be the kind of guy that I would typically have no interest in. Tip of the cap to the filmmakers and Miles Teller for turning that around. It should also be noted that Shailene Woodley is so naturally affecting, that her character never comes across as anything but sincere. Given the state of today's mainstream coming of age stories, this one definitely deserves a look and could gather some attention come awards time. Looking for some great streaming picks?
