The Spectacular Now is a romantic film that is subtle and realistic; it makes you feel like you're watching real-life events unfold.
Miles Teller is one of my favorite young actors, and he delivers another outstanding performance in this film. Shailene Woodley also has strong chemistry with Teller; their connection is palpable and contributes to several emotionally charged scenes.
This movie isn't for everyone, and it doesn't have the typical romance movie conclusion that everyone expects. The film takes risks, and the majority of them pay off. The finale, on the other hand, seemed a little too ambiguous for the tone of the film. Regardless, The Spectacular now tells an engaging story and nails most of its themes.
