It could have been such awful teen-bopper bullshit but The Spectacular Now feels so special it should be studied for everyone trying to make a romance about two teenagers from opposite sides falling in love. It has drama without being overdramatic, it has comedy without the crudeness. Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley couldn't have more chemistry even if they were married in real life. No caricatures or bullshit here. The popular guy isn't empty-headed, the girl whose different isn't a complete lost cause, even the popular girl isn't vapid (Brie Larson whose also stellar in her scenes). Very impressive indeed.
3/4
