Weber—the gifted writers of "500 Days of Summer"—and directed by James Ponsoldt ("Smashed") is an authentic and timeless coming of age story about two high school seniors. Film journalist Katherine Tulich speaks to it's stars—Miles Teller, who plays effortless but troubled charmer Sutter Keely, and Shailene Woodley, the "nice girl" Aimee Finicky who unwittingly captures his heart.
