Given that the most affecting love stories involve the sisters and their mother, the few scenes with this close-knit trio are the film's highlights.
For a film that marks both a screenwriting debut and a big screen directing debut, "The Year Of Spectacular Men" makes very few rookie mistakes, and the ones it does are easily outweighed by the snap of the dialogue.
Not everything works, but the Deutch sisters are a delight in every scene they share, and Madelyn has an unusual screen presence and a feel for the absurd that marks this 27-year-old as a talent to watch.
A good-looking yet slim and meandering hybrid of a romantic comedy, family drama and coming-of-age story.
Lea Thompson's theatrical directing debut works best as a showcase for daughters Madelyn and Zoey Deutch who bring a real life zing to their fictional sister act
Even in... spotty passages, it is the movie's saving grace that its family acting troupe faces the gobbledygook with openhearted silliness and sincerity.
Breezy is the best way to describe this movie.
What they created ... is a frequently touching, often amusing, non-traditional coming-of-age story that will surprise a lot of folks.
The characterization is platitudinous, and characters don't stand out individually. It remains at a consistent, uninspired plateau, as if everything is overly forced and noticeably unpolished.
There comes a film every so often that tries to show the nature of life. The Spectacular Year of Men attempts to show just that by fusing a blend of beautiful confusion and tragic comedy into a single performance.
When the film finally finds its rhythm, there's too many missed opportunities for it to be a hit.
Madelyn Deutch's The Year of Spectacular Men is not only immensely entertaining, but it also helps make sense of the senseless.
