Tom Tharp's lauded novel is the basis for this peppy, restless, bittersweet ode to the fleeting nature of youth. A charming high school senior (Miles Teller), with little ambition but a large capacity for alcohol, bobs along aimlessly until he befriends the class wallflower (Shailene Woodley). Special Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival. 2013. 95 minutes. Rated R.
