The Spectacular Now

This is a weird one.

I loved everything about the film from a production standpoint. The cinematography, the music, the setting, the premise, and the 'coming of age' shite that gets added to most Indie films nowadays.

I just didn't give a shit about 'Sutter' (who's starred in 21 and Over, and Project X, which I recognised him from and liked him in) because he's a huge prick. I have to assume that we're not meant to like him, or simply that we're meant to sympathise with him because of his shitty background, but I don't think it justified his behaviour at all. Throughout, all I cared about was 'Aimee', who the IMDB summary seem to wrongly refer to as 'not to typical nice girl'. Not quite sure what they were getting at with that one.

All in all; a decent but low-key cast, Brie Larson's tits looked tremendous, and ironically if it hadn't been for the lead character, I'd have enjoyed it a hell of a lot more.
