Plot Story : With sly humor and an intensity of feeling, THE SPECTACULAR NOW (directed by James Ponsoldt) creates a vivid, three-dimensional portrait of youth confronting the funny, thrilling and perilous business of modern love and adulthood. This is the tale of Sutter Keely (Miles Teller), a high school senior and effortless charmer, and of how he unexpectedly falls in love with "the good girl" Aimee Finecky (Shailene Woodley). What starts as an unlikely romance becomes a sharp-eyed, straight-up snapshot of the heady confusion and haunting passion of youth - one that doesn't look for tidy truths. The film was written by Scott Neustadter and Michael Weber (500) DAYS OF SUMMER and also features wonderful supporting turns from Brie Larson, Kyle Chandler, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

Review For Movie The Spectacular Now
James Ponsoldt, who directed from a script by Michael H. Weber and Scott Neustadter, is a bit too glib to do justice to this material, but the young actors, especially Woodley, are quite fine.Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
The two leads, Miles Teller's Sutter Keely and Shailene Woodley's Aimee Finicky are so well drawn and believably portrayed that it's impossible not to accept them as real.
James Berardinelli-ReelViews
Here is a lovely film about two high school seniors who look, speak and feel like real 18-year-old middle-American human beings. Do you have any idea how rare that is?
Roger Ebert-RogerEbert.com
The fast-talking but increasingly insufferable Teller ... displays little ability to modulate his performance as the movie gradually turns darker and darker ...
Kyle Smith-New York Post
Remarkable for the ease with which it positions itself outside this arena of aggressively stylized self-differentiation.
Dana Stevens-Slate
A wryly funny, compassionate and wise portrait of teens on the cusp of adulthood.
Claudia Puig-USA Today
Captures the life lessons that spring up unexpectedly when blind confidence dictates you've got life all figured out
Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie
The film eventually begins to work against itself and erodes the goodwill that it had earned.
Nathan Southern-TV Guide's Movie Guide
How these characters affect each other's decisions, and ultimate destiny, is at the heart of Neustadter and Weber's screenplay, brought to life with admirable honesty and restraint by James Ponsoldt...
Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks
...so near-perfectly pitched, it transcends its genre.
Kurt Loder-Reason Online
...another soulful story about adolescents careering messily into first loves.
Chris Barsanti-PopMatters
The blossoming-love emotions ... aren't all that different from the ones you might encounter in a Nicholas Sparks movie, yet the intimacy between Sutter and Aimee feels real.
Craig Seligman-Bloomberg News
Poignant teen drama doesn't shy away from alcohol or sex.
Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media
The word "alcoholic" is never uttered in this movie, but more and more, you see that's the crutch.
Alonso Duralde-What the Flick?!
The sojourn into John Hughes territory distracts from the film's real story, which centers on a young alcoholic hurtling toward the abyss.
Robert Levin-amNewYork
Everything about this film is special, director James Ponsoldt ("Smashed") pitching the material so acutely that he's able to bring us to the brink of tragedy and pull back into an ending full of open-hearted hope.
