Review of The Spectacular Now (2013) by A T — 26 Aug 2015
More like the "Spectacular Nah". I like these coming of age stories, most recently The Way, Way Back. And the prospects and the story excited me (even though I'm not the biggest fan of Miles "Shia LaVaughn" Teller or Shailene "Jennifer Lawrence" Woodley).
Sadly, I don't feel the movie lives up to "spectacular" but it's just "ok". It took me a while to really understand where it was going (since the trailer kind of did lie that it was about a troubled love, versus well.
.. the story of troubled adolescence and maturity) but I can't quite say it pays off in the end either.
