MOVIE REVIEW: The spectacular now (spoiler alert)



I thought I'd give this movie ago, someone recommended it to me the other day and its the same writers from 500 days of summer and i loved that movie!

I'm giving this movie a 6.5/10 it didn't really keep me very interested.

Characters: 
Sutter Keely:  The main man of the movie, i thought he had a good sense of humour and always knew what to say but he definitely was full of himself, felt sorry for himself and moaned a lot. 7/10
Aimee Finecky: Loved her as a character she's so sweet and caring and really didn't give herself enough credit as a person. (bless her)  8/10

Actors:
Miles Teller: As an actor I think he's better playing the joker and in comedy movies, although he did play his character v. well. Does anyone think his voice and characteristics are similar to VinceVaughn? definitely a younger version I think! 8/10
Shailene Woodley: She's actually one of the reasons I chose to watch it. I'm dying to see Fault in our stars and the other day i watched Divergent and thought she was amazing in it, so i wanted to see how she played other characters, I've noticed that in most of her films well the only one I've seen lol and what I've read from Fault in our stars she always plays the type of girl that is shy and unsure of herself. 7/10

How I related to The Spectacular now.  
A main part of the film was how Suter didn't know or have a relationship with his father and when he finally contacted him it didn't go as expected.
I had the same experience early this year, I got in contact with my dad who had been absent from my life for ten years! when we first met it was weird! it was like meeting a stranger but knowing you were related to this stranger didn't feel right, he always spoke about how great his life was and never really asked about me, then he started telling me how to live my life  and as a 21 year old he didn't have the right or authority to do that and he didn't like it when i told him that he couldn't. We haven't spoken since June. (his loss)

Anyway......................
If you've seen this movie let me know what your thoughts and if you agree with mine or if you related to it the same way i did. Would love to hear your stories :)
