The Spectacular Now

Tools    





Plot:

Sutter Keely lives in the now. It's a good place for him. A high school senior, charming and self-possessed, he's the life of the party, loves his job at a men's clothing store, and has no plans for the future. A budding alcoholic, he's never far from his supersized, whiskey-fortified thirst-master cup. But after being dumped by his girlfriend, Sutter gets drunk and wakes up on a lawn with Aimee Finecky hovering over him. She's different: the "nice girl" who reads science fiction and doesn't have a boyfriend. While Amy has dreams of a future, Sutter lives in the impressive delusion of a spectacular now, yet somehow, they're drawn together.

Trailer:



I have just seen a trailer for this on IMDb and I am already in love with this film. The fact this is from the same writer as "500 Days of Summer" gets massive bonus points from me because I loved that film so much but I also love how the story goes, I may just be a sucker for coming of age films!

Is anyone else interested in seeing this?
