Spontaneous

Although its a little campy and cringy at times, its an overall very entertaining film with a good message. Tries to be too clever at times but is 100% worth the watch. Don't believe the haters and go in expecting a fun movie not Shawshank redemption and you will enjoy it!

The premise is interesting and it could have been decent if it wasn't emotionally flat, borderline badly acted and otherwise uninventive.

They seemed to be attempting an 80's teen movie vibe but it failed on every front. Langford's performance felt forced and unnatural. She was trying to be a quirky, carefree teenager but her entire performance felt contrived.

Piper Perabo and Rob Huebel playing Mara's parents were trying for some kind of cool parent vibe which floundered into emotionless, unfunny supporting roles.

The standout was Charlie Plumber. When he was on screen there was some genuinely good acting and you could relax. If the rest of the movie was brought up to his level it would have been much better.

The soundtrack was okay, although a little too on the nose.

I found myself feeling repeatedly bored and struggling to pay attention. It also bugged me how Mara was always flawlessly made up, even when she was apparently too depressed to move or blackout drunk.

I hoped everyone (or I) would spontaneously combust so the movie would finally come to an end.

Make today the first day of the rest of your life, live every day as if it's your last, seize the day, seize the moment - but does it really matter or make any difference and can you really do anything about it. That all depends on your nihilistic tendencies which, after watching this, may have become increasingly acute.

Ya RomComs are something I avoid at all costs. Theyre always the same and never ever anything that would play out in real life so why give you or your partner unrealistic expectations watching something that is just going to set you up for failure.. This movie SPONTANOUSly turned out to be something completely unexpected - REALLY Good and really funny. The romance part is underplayed and mostly the setup as an after thought for the perfectly timed witty one liners that are delivered spot on with real chemistry you can feel between the main actors. The movie is just a take on the traditional coming of age story and how everything when youre young seems like the end or the beginning of the world and with each death of a young persons dream life its never the end but just the transition to another dream of how life will play out.. I dont know if that makes sense to anyone reading this but it was a really great movie witty well acted and moves along at a good pace. It was this directors debut and I cant wait for more projects in the future to be made by them.. Great job

I liked it. A welcome tongue in cheek high school comedy-ish (a black comedy, moreso) about seniors Mara and Dylan, who finally begin to date after their classmates randomly begin to explode. It sounds like a horror feature, but it's really not. It's more like a nod to the old hippie song "Live for Today," because the kids aren't promised a tomorrow, so why not do what you want today? I say kids, but the rest of the senior class is mere window dressing; our story is firmly about our featured couple, luckily played with great fervor by Katherine Langford and Charlie Plummer. We're not looking at great depth, but it's a sweet romance, mildly thought provoking, and nakedly honest look at young adult awakening, and life is general. We could all remember to enjoy more of today, and worry less about tomorrow. Recommended.
