The Spectacular Now                     That's how soon you should watch it The Spectacular Now tells the story of Sutter Keely (Miles Teller Star of this year's whiplash), a party-animal who’s just been dumped by his girlfriend and hopes to win her back. Along the way, however, he starts to connect with one of the more bookish and mature girls in his school, Aimee (Shailene Woodley), which sparks not only a romance, but a path to maturation that starts to both enlighten and weigh on Sutter’s soul. The Spectacular Now is a hard hitting emotional teenage drama which attempts to show us how not only are we are molded by our parents but how the fear and realizations of that we could turn out to be what we wish not to be can mould us into who we are.  Like many of the best coming-of-age films, because the material is very familiar, the key to The Spectacular Now‘s success is in its insight, empathy, and fantastic performances for all of the characters involved. Teller and Woodley  on screen chemistry make the two electric, the pure innocence  of Woodley's character makes you so protective and loving of the girl on screen and the insecurity and vulnerability of Tellers portrayal makes you see why he is the way he is.  The Spectacular now takes a realistic approach to the  teen romance coming of age film with the final act  that feels earned and doesn’t let the audience off too easily, refusing to make its resolution too tidy while still leaving us in a hopeful mood. The Spectacular Now doesn’t offer much that is all that new or revolutionary, but it’s so excellently executed and overall enjoyable that its easy to get wrapped up in both its infectious charm and its deeply resonating drama. It’s everything a good coming-of-age story should be.                                                                       CannonCanclusion                                                                                 8.4/10
