The Spectacular now:REVIEW



I recently watched the teen film "The spectacular now". After hearing alot of good reviews about it on youtube and twitter i decided to give it a try as lots of people says that it deals with typical teenage issues in a not so typical way.The genre of this film is a romantic,comedy,drama which does sound slightly contradicting but after watching the film it makes sense.
The film is about a high school senior named Sutter who is the stereotypical mr popular guy who claims that he is he life and soul of all the parties.His girlfriend dumps him at the start of the film and he wakes up hungover in someones front garden.A unpopular nice girl named Aimee comes to his rescue and they begin a friendship that turns into a relationship.Although these characters are completely different with regards to hobbies and aspirations in life in this film they fit perfectly.





Although the spectacular now is a film that has not been talked about alot or advertised all over the world it does have two very famous actors as the two leads.Miles Teller stars as "Sutter" and Shailene Woodley stars as "Aimee."
Shailene has already starred in the movies "The Descendants" and "The secret life of an American Teenager."Also 2014 will be a very big year for Shailene as she will be starring in two of the biggest films this year both based on books that have been bestsellers.She will be starring in "Divergent" and also "The fault in our stars."

Miles Teller has starred in "Project X","That awkward moment"and "21 and over"


Many people have referred to the Spectacular now as being "Low budget but High reviews."

Here is an example of a review that i agree with:

I think that "The Spectacular now" is a great example of a low-budget film that was still successful.Through word of the mouth advertising and social media sites people like me were made aware of this film and really enjoyed it.While watching this film you do get the feel that it is not a multi-million bound budget as the characters don't have flawless skin and the shots used in the film aren't that Technical and advanced but i feel that that makes the film more relatable and more like reality.
