On the big screen: The Spectacular Now
Starring: Shailene Woodley, Miles Teller, Brie Larson and Kyle Chandler Directed by: James Ponsoldt
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 7UP 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.
This movie opens on a big screen near you today.
