Reviews

merelyaninnuendo The Spectacular NowThe premise is somewhat familiar and seems like your typical teenage movie stuff, but as it ages on screen, it grows into this mature character driven feature that contradicts its tone. The first half of it is slow, mushy-gushy and spends its time on setting the plot and the characters' track. There are few inedible clauses in here but if neglecting and moving past it, it offers much more than a romantic genre usually does. It is shot beautifully when it focuses on its love track and is perfectly balanced on the dark and light aspects of it; especially in its last act. James Ponsoldt has done a decent work on executing this uneven and unsettled feature but it definitely could have edited better and improved on some other technical aspects too. The performance is where the wheel gets stuck as its lead characters (Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley) are not in their A game whilst the supporting cast (Jennifer Jason Leigh, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Brie Larson) is far better. The Spectacular Now is spectacular on terms of its unpredictability as it laughs over the expectation of the audience which it outgrows by a major margin.

Prismark10 The Spectacular Now is one of these modest, low budget independent films. It has a few star performers making small cameos. A film that has some intelligence but I felt it still pulls it punches. It does not want to go off base and head for a troubled ending.Sutter Keely (Miles Teller) is a cheerful soul, a party loving guy who maybe drinks too much and not exactly heading to graduate out of high school. When he is dumped by his girlfriend Cassidy (Brie Larson) Sutter gets drunk falls asleep on a garden lawn. He is found next morning by Aimee Finecky (Shailene Woodley) a fellow student. Aimee is nice, clever geeky, awkward, she never had a boyfriend. Sutter is hoping to get back with his ex but she has moved on. So Sutter starts a relationship with the virginal Aimee but Sutter's drinking is getting out of control. He develops further issues when he later meets his alcoholic father who walked out on Sutter when he was a child.A well acted film from its young cast but the ending was trite as it never tackles Sutter's alcoholism.

arjuny-02006 They stopped making movies like these..for a reason. It had no chemistry between actors and the girl clearly was going through something worst than the enitltled and privileged male lead, she should get her own story. Most of all very cliched and dissapointing end.

joe9611 The only thing spectacular about this film is how it managed to convince critics that it's good. It's not. This movie suffers from bad acting and a worse script. I couldn't relate to the characters at all. The main character was self-absorbed and didn't care about anyone but himself.
