This sweet little coming of age flick comes dangerously close to being a high school soap opera but it's saved by memorable characters, strong performances and a nice ending.

In the early going Sutter Keely feels like the kid you want to be. He is the most loved kid in every room he walks into, the light of the party. He may have all these friends, but he never takes anything seriously. Yet, like Sutter himself says repeatedly through-out the film there are two sides to every story. Aimee is his story, his one chance to make things different. Teller and Woodley are sensational, grounding the film in true chemistry in both an endearing and heartbreaking fashion.

Extremely compelling coming-of-age tale. Teller and Woodley put this on their backs... really, their chemistry is so god damn good and believable it's insane. It is pretty cripplingly depressing at times, but that's fine. It's not really funny, but it's wonderful watching these two share moments together and wrestle with their own problems. It's not a revelation, it's just an amazingly well put together movie on all fronts.

It's a step in the right direction for Ponsoldt and a significant improvement from his previous effort. This charming teenage tale of love and budding maturity may be inconsistent and inadequately fleshed out but it is imbued with a genuinely affecting sense of youthful discovery and fragility that is refreshing to behold. The excellent Teller and Woodley are bound for great things.

This flick isn't a coming-of-age drama full of weiner kid teenagers navigating normal adolescent problems with a privileged melodramatic flair. Instead, it genuinely spotlights the obstacles of a child of an alcoholic. There's a sweet, natural intimacy in some parts, including the wonderful walk in the woods sequence & the love scene. All told, it works as a lovely romance, although I could've done without the dude "learning" a lesson from a girl he emotionally tortured.

Buttery cinematography, crisp editing, and intoxicatingly good turns from Woodley, Teller, and Chandler here present an incredibly realistic, nuanced, and heart-wrenching tale of young love and life. The characters are truly human: complex and dynamic, their language (spoken and unspoken) stuttering, imperfect. The story similarly aches with the subtleties and drama of authentic teen life, building to a fittingly unresolved ending. Sad and endearing, sweet and torturous, this film is a must-see.

Sensitive, well-observed drama fits into the “coming of age” template; Teller and Woodley are equally outstanding, charting their stuttering relationship with bracing honesty, heading a terrific cast right down to the most minor of roles. Perhaps a shame that with Teller front and centre, Woodley lacks a decent narrative follow-through; perhaps reflecting Teller’s dazed state, the third act sacrifices an emotional sting for a more low-key ambience which leaves the film's impact somewhat muted.

A cool guy drinks way to much. Kids, do not drink as much as this cool guy. Even though everything he does is apparently "awesome", he has his fair share of problems. That's why he's drinking so much. But at least there is not the usual drama with his girlfriend. But she's also drinking, so maybe that's why they understand each other better than their peers. The ending was fucking cheesy and unnessessary. No one was drinking, so the whole scene was pointless.

Total dogshit. Rarely do you see a main character less likable than Miles Teller. His problems are so meaningless and uninteresting that I spent most of the film just rolling my eyes. Your dad left you? So have literally millions of others. I really don't understand how anyone liked this. The conversations and subsequently the script was garbage. I give it 1 point for Shailene Woodley who gave life to nothing but this was just aggressively terrible.

As such it is well made, but it still becomes a bit boring. It doesn't take any chances. It doesn't surprise us. It stays within the lines of what's been done before and therefore it simply does not stand out. It lacks bite or tension; a scene or a performance, something to pick from it if I were to recommend it. The Way Way Back and The Kings of Summer are moth much more memorable.

Here's a fine example of a wonderful independent film that didn't get enough of a fair shake because of its absolute shit marketing that gives zero indication that its title is ironic, that its protagonist is deeply flawed, or that it's more of a subtle character study than a goddamn youth anthem. Sutter's alcoholism and the way he convinces himself that his way of life is ideal are disturbing undercurrents to a narrative formula that in many ways resembles a classic Hughes flick.

a wonderfully un-self conscious woodley performance and some emotive visual choices do wonders to paper the cracks of this increasingly facile, regrettably male-centric screenplay about proto-deadbeat boys stepping out of their deadbeat dads' shadow. the trite conclusive scene reveals just how misplaced the filmmakers' attentions are though, and the final look on aimee's face reminds of what a wasted opportunity this thing is.

Yeah, catchy and heart-warming and full of bright remarks like any well-written novel bound for young hearts, but you have to give Ponsoldt some credit for making this full-of-facts story work in just 95min and giving the key scenes -- walk in the woods during that party at the lake, the conversation about Aimee moving to Philly after graduation -- a slow pace that most coming of age flicks don't dare to show. Also: I was shocked by how old Jennifer is and found Miles too Vince-Vaughn-ish.

Unfortunately, that brings us to the corruption part of the equation. In the process of helping Sutter move in more mature directions, Aimee gets sucked into immature, immoral and treacherous ones herself. She cheerfully surrenders her virginity to Sutter without much thought of the consequences. And she succumbs significantly to Sutter's drinking habits too. In short, she pays a steep price to serve as something between a muse and a salvific figure to Sutter. (pluggedin.com)

Depressing, cliche and disjointed. The themes here are worth exploring, but unfortunately the writing just doesn't work. It's messy. Woodley is good and well cast. Teller, not so much. To be fair, I can't think of anyone who could have pulled it off. It's a poorly developed, unappealing, cartoonish role. The ending is astoundingly absurd. The sex scene is gratuitous and creepy. Ironically, there's too much emphasis on the superficial, fleeting moments and fails to capture the big picture.

I really really like this. Teller & Woodley are very natural and realistic, and the portrayal of Teller's character is something I relate to personally a lot. I enjoyed the downs as much as I enjoyed the ups. I felt very moved by this because it's a striking mirror of not just me, but I think what a lot of people feel at this age. They are layers to this that i can't really explain, but their chemistry does it perfectly. This is a close to a perfect movie, and a high recommendation.

Not really convinced by this teen morality tale. The blaring "don't drink" message kind of drowned out anything else the story might have had to offer. I mean the mismatched couple were cute, but they didn't really stay together long enough to sustain my interest. The rest was pretty forgettable. No idea how Shailene survived that hit-and-run.

This is the most badly written, awkwardly acted, terribly directed thing I've ever seen. Every conversation involving Sutter, Cassidy or Aimee seemed to be one giant awkward pause, which the actors tried to overplay with clichés, small-talk and head-nodding. And, I don't think I've ever been more painfully aware I'm watching adults pretending to be teenagers. The sex scene, the dinner scene, Kyle Chandler, Jennifer Jason Lee, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and the ending were great, though.

James Ponsoldt's directing caught me off guard. Beautiful, emotionally effective use of focus time and time again. Miles Teller delivers a gut-wrenching but at the same time heart-warming performance as Sutter. I thought Shailene Woodley honestly stole the show though.

The Spectacular Now might not be particularly focused on its narrative, but its characters are top-notch and feel very realistic. We get to observe them for such a time that when the time comes for them to blossom - or fail - we understand exactly why either (or both) happens. Their relationship is sweet, the humor comes from a very natural place, and the production treats its teenage subjects with respect. The story goes in a darker direction than similar films, and it feels honest throughout.

When I hear "high school coming-of-age drama" my mind is instantly flooded with thoughts of film making cliches that have been around as long as I have. But watching a movie like The Spectacular Now serves to remind me that it isn't so much what a movie does that matters, it's how it does it. On paper this movie hits every beat of the formula, but it's done with such restraint, subtlety, maturity and nuance that it transcends the cliches and turns into a pretty awesome movie.

I watch hundreds of movies a year, so when people start speaking like *gasp* actual human beings, it gets my attention. Sure, the revelations of the characters are ordinary to people who are older and wiser, but to these young characters, they're genuinely earth-shattering. Movies aren't supposed to be about me - they only have to be true to themselves.

You kind of fear where this movie might go when you first meet the life-of-the-party Sutter. But this one feels more real and intimate than many of the new teenage movie does, and sometimes "it's more too a person than just one thing." Woodley and Teller brings great chemistry to the film and with the screenplay it does a good job exploring the murkier side of first love.

Very little to say about this. Hits all the notes you would think, as a "selfish teen loser with a drinking problem completely disproportionate to his life circumstances"/earnest romantic indie comedy. How does that sound? Pretty awful, huh? Well, it's not. It's fine. Just fine. And the lead actor, you can tell, is going to be somebody before long. He'll probably play the "buddy" in another rom com or two, then get a shot as a funny lead like a mid-00s Jonah Hill.

This is not a perfect movie by a longshot; there are a few plot elements that seemed ill-advised, and one important section of the film gets a little bogged down. But the interactions between the characters feel realer than anything I've seen in movies this year*, even though Sutter's world of drinking and partying is a completely foreign country to me, and by the time it ends, I am rooting for every character in it. That's rare, and so is the believability of this film. *besides Enough Said.

A compelling coming-of-age story with a somewhat relatable and heart warming story of young love and planning for the future. Teller plays his part extremely well and Woodley is as charming as ever. It felt more real and authentic than other coming of age stories due to the way the characters respond to each other and to what is happening on screen. If you enjoyed The Perks of Being a Wallflower then you will love this.

Wall-to-wall brilliant performances - Shailene Woodley transcendently complex, Miles Teller's finest work yet, Kyle Chandler revealing a dark side - supporting a powerful, earnest screenplay. Coming-of-age is one of my favourite genres, and TSN nails everything great about it: intense, ferocious and conflicting emotions; facing up to grown-up problems; the unique sense discovery and excitement the adult world brings with it. Imbued with palpable passion and a certain kind of nostalgic beauty.

This film seems somewhat reminiscent of Buffalo '66 in its attempts to redeem a destructive, importunate, callow drunk by showing us the hidden self-esteem deficiencies that drive him. These attempts ultimately work to a degree, but getting to that last third of the movie requires slogging through the abjectly poorly-paced rest of the film. I mostly found myself watching in the hopes that Shailene Woodley's character would hurry up and outgrow him.

Sheesh, somebody saw Say Anything... and thought it was way too upbeat. In a lot of ways it's a dark mirror-image of that one, but the fundamentals (fractured father-child relationship, outgoing dude helps girl blossom, etc.) are similar. Where it differs is that these characters aren't the model citizens that Crowe's are, and their relationship suffers the consequences. The ending is ambiguous and optimistic, but it's hardly an upper on the whole.

great direction, has a wonderful pace, a little less humourous than 500 days

A surprisingly deep script is supported by two great young actors. Funny, sad and heartfelt.

I found this movie pretty good, as many of those other good coming of age novels, which are made into movies. The two leads, Woodley and Teller have an excellent chemistry. Woodley is something special. I'm looking forward to seeing her again. It did'nt show me something I had not seen before, and the whole social heritage thing was a bit rushed. Excellent job by Chandler in that regard, though. Teller reminded me a bit of a young Vince Vaugn, hopefully he'll shake that off. - Good.

Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley are both very good in this film about youth, love, and maturity. It's always good to see a teen film this sincere and intelligent. The relationship between the two leads is surprisingly multifaceted, and their ability to convey all the nuances involved is very impressive.

Sort of like (500) Days of Summer in that it's billed as an offbeat, whimsical dramedy when it's actually just really depressing.

Neither completely authentic nor completely thematically focused. In fact, it erratically bounces between these two poles, making it difficult to fully feel for the well-performed characters. Indeed, the actors give it their all, and there are a few scenes of wise & bold formalistic decisions. But it's just too slight and inevitably bland to leave a lasting affect. Actors deserved a better story.

A brutally honest and real look at teen romance and coming to grips with growing up. Shailene Woodley proves her great acting in The Descendants was no fluke with another strong turn.

It's ultimately a very slight film, and when it's done it doesn't feel like that much has actually HAPPENED in its 95 minutes. But despite that it's mostly entertaining and moving and flew by for me. Teller and Woodley both do fine work and Kyle Chandler knocks his brief appearance out of the park. The movie's funny bits do a good job being convincingly funny without feeling like shoehorned comic relief.

Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley are great. I still don't know if it's the revelation some people say it is but I definitely liked it.

Self-loathing life-of-the-party under-achiever meets unconfident over-achiever in a coming of age dramedy that's a cut above most of the rest of its genre. More drama than comedy but that's what gives it substance. (misogyny? WTF???)

Mistaking misogyny for realism does not mean this "coming of age story" is innovative. Shailene Woodley, however, is a remarkable, natural talent.
