    It's rare to have a movie where high school students are like high school students. How can there be so much fun? Who wants to have nothing to do and drink too much. Two people from broken families. get rid of the shitty...

    It's another story of a high school student with a broken family looking for themselves. But this film is obviously a typical "story is good but not filmed well".

The Spectacular Now quotes

  • Sutter: You think beauty's in some classroom or some textbook, and it's not. That's not what it's about. This right here. This is beautiful. All of this. That's all you need.

  • Cassidy: But you can't go around having fun all the time. You have to be serious.

    Sutter: I am serious. I'm one hundred percent serious!

    Cassidy: About what?
