Una de esas cintas festivaleras, cuyo principal atractivo es ver si Shailene Woodley en realidad es la gran actriz que "The Descendants" vaticinaba.
Igual que aquella es una adaptación del libro homónimo de Tim Tharp , una más de las atemporales crónicas del "coming of age" .
Sutter Keely (Miles Teller) 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, whisky-fortified thirst-master cup. But after being dumped by his girlfriend, Sutter gets drunk and wakes up on a lawn with Aimee Finicky (Shailene Woodley) 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.
