Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

The Spectacular Now (out now) tries to break away from the teen romance mold by providing something that is more realistic and less "sugar coated". Points for that. That said, I didn't find these characters particularly interesting and it was tough grappling the ever-changing mindset of the lead guy (Miles Teller). Grade: B.
