Review of The Spectacular Now (2013) by Diego T — 11 Jan 2014

From the posters and trailer, I was curious to know how the movie got a R rating. After seeing the film I can only assume it was due to the alcohol theme. This was such a sweet, innocent take on alot of complex issues about relationships and coming-of-age stuff.

So subtle that you'd probably think everything was pretty much perfect and funâ¦that is until the veil lifts and you see it all in its true form in the last 10 minutes of the film. So the spectacular isn't so spectacular afterall.

I guess what I'm saying is the movie had a point and the point was made clear and quite cleverly too.
