I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Many reviews describe it as a very realistic portrayal of the coming of age. But I didn't really see it to be that realistic. The dialogues and characters seem a bit too mature for the high school years. Most seem to be way more developed and know how to live their lives in a productive way. Yeah, this isn't high school. And the car accident was a tad of unrealistic. After I saw it I thought we see the funeral next. But no the girl seems to have a broken arm and fine afterwards.Still these things are easy to overlook. It is still a nice perspective on the teenage years. I always enjoy the silly teen comedies too, they remind me of the "good times", but an more serious movie on the actual pains and doubts we face back then is pretty good too.The thought that one should live in now is actually a very good one. One should. But at the same time one should still leave a bit of attention to the future. This is what our main character learns here. And seeing his struggle is pretty good. I like the scene when he asks his teacher what is so good about being an adult. I remember those thoughts as well. The movie portrays the relationships between charters very well. Aimee who helps Sutter to find himself while he introduces her to more confidence and fun. It is very well shown how their relationship starts to develop. I also like seeing how it is between him and his ex girlfriend Cassidy. She is a good girl too, not some nasty girl exes often are, especially in teen movies. So this was a good part of the movie. And his mother who takes care of him trying to protect him from finding out who his father is. I love the scene where she is convincing him that he is not like his dad. Very touching and believable.All in all a very good movie. Great acting, good story. It makes one reflect on their issues, let one connect to them and understand them.

After 5 minutes I gave up and turned the movie off.
I thought it was all about this teen parties things, womanizers and so on. But after reading more about, I gave it a second chance and... wow... I cried all the time!I am 60 and I knew exactly what they were talking about: as a teacher, as a father as a former teenager everything is fine in this movie and Shailene does not die... Isn't it wonderful?

I really wasn't expecting a huge amount from this film at all, after all the "popular guy falls for quiet, studious girl" has been played out a number of times, all to fairly similar and formulaic results. However this film has a different feel to it. Firstly the acting is great; Miles Teller plays the cocky, 'confidence masking his insecurities' role absolutely perfectly. As for Shailene Woodley, she plays the quiet girl brilliantly and does so with intelligence and dignity. The direction doesn't make her ever grovel for the popular guy's attention, or change herself for him - if it does then its only in the subtlest of ways. Another stand out aspect of the film is the attention to the smaller roles, notably Sutter's father, and the owner of the shop that Sutter works in (Bob Odenkirk). Both are posed as polar opposite characters - shown in an exchange near the end of the film when Sutter quits his job at the shop. There's this real feel of a small town in the movie in which they all live, which seems almost claustrophobic and you just want the characters to escape and break free. Overall this is just a lovely film, and honestly one of the best 'coming of age' films of its kind I think I've ever seen. Just watch it. You'll be moved.
