Read Ashley K's Review of The Year of Spectacular Men. Izzy Klein has (barely) graduated from college, broken up (sorta) with her boyfriend, and is stranded in New York City with a bad case of pre-real-world millennial-itis. Unsure of what the next step is, her movie star little sister Sabrina convinces her to move back home to Los Angeles and into her shared apartment with movie star boyfriend Sebastian, where they can keep an eye on rudderless Izzy. Emotionally unable to deal with the loss of her father, and slightly distracted by her mother Deb's newfound love affair with loopy yogi Amythyst, Izzy funnels her energy into dating a colorful bouquet of five complicated and spectacular men: Aaron, Ross, Logan, Mikey, and Charlie, over the course of the next year. Coping just barely with the help of her trusty notebook, she falls in and out of some not so romantic romances, and figures out that when it totally feels like the end of your story, it's often just the beginning.

Lea Thompson (Back to The Future) makes her directorial debut in this coming of age comedy. Starring her real life daughters Madelyn Deutch as Izzy Klein and Zoey Deutch as Sabrina Klein - playing on screen sisters!

The movie centers around Izzy, a recent college graduate who’s going through a quarter life crisis. She moves from different cities with her sister, Sabrina who’s a famous actress. Izzy meets different men while her sister has been in a long term relationship. You go on a journey with these sisters as they lean on each other, and their mother for support.

I could relate so much to the experiences that were shown in this movie, relationships with men, both friendly and romantic. The highs and the lows, moments when you first meet someone and the disappointment when it doesn’t work out. I think Lea did a good job at showing how much women put up with and how strong we can be against whatever is thrown at us.

This movie is really funny and heartwarming. I loved Sabrina - she was hilarious and seeing the closeness of the sisters made me remember a lot of moments with my own sister.

If you liked Edge of Seventeen you’ll like this one!

Rating: 3.5 out of 5
