The Spectacular Now: Book-to-Movie Adaptation
Tim Tharp's YA novel about a charming but self-destructive senior who falls for a quieter girl becomes a stunning, naturalistic film. Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley deliver achingly real performances in this honest, unromanticized portrait of teen love, alcoholism, and the terrifying prospect of growing up.
