At 1st I was going to rate this film a 5 or 6 because I was told it's a comedy horror and as such I prefer films in that genre like evil dead series, dead alive, dead snow, etc. This film to me was a drama/romantic/comedy, and features fantastic acting by the whole cast and a really excellent story. Has some blood and gore but not enough for a horror I was never scared or jumped . I did get involved with the story and the characters and when I thought about how excellent it was as a film I give it a solid 8!! Please watch with an open mind and enjoy some fantastic acting and direction.we will watch again!!

Spontaneous is a minor marvel: a fresh, violent, wholly romantic and totally devastating movie that shifts tones and managds to be about... A lot. And as far as 2020 movies, much superior as (unintentional) cinematic metaphor for Covid than She Dies Tomorrow - matter of fact, this really is probably the most emotionally succinct film we've had about metaphorically what it's been like to live these pasy godforsaken months (and as it keeps on going). And I'm sure Brian Duffield left the symbolism to interpretation on any given number of fronts (school shootings? Suicide? Ironic that this stars the 13 Reasons woman, and she is as my wife tells me so unlike her part in that, but anyway). Duffield's arguable high master-stroke is simple really: Langford and Plummer are just great together with splendid chemistr6 and you enjoy seeing them be goofy and dopey and funny teens... Which... Like, what if John Green but Stephen King(?) That's about as gigantic a compliment as I can think to grant it. And what's so remarkable is, without givvng too much away, Duffield does the thing you kind of expect to happen... But the pathos is so completely off the charts and your heart just aches and breaks and it strikes you that this incredibly sweet and often very funny teenage love story treats death with more sincerity than more supposedly serious-intended dramas have over the years. It has a few logical flaws that I could get into (involving the potential mystical properties of... Being a Senior and, like, why the school isn't rushing graduation even into the Bye Bye Life montage), but why carp? Let me put it this way Rob Huebel, who you might remember from those old Moviefone ads ("Mauled by a tiger!), is such a good actor in this. Who knew?

I liked it until they started ramming their political bill down your throat . When the movie has nothing to do whatsoever about politics they still manage to push their jabs and politics anti trump slander really shouldn't matter what side you're on adding anything political to a movie about teens exploding which is supposed to be comedy is kinda unnecessary. We get it you don't like trump who cares would've been better if they left their political agenda at home.

How would you feel, if one day there was a chance you could just spontaneously pop, that's how life is for Mara and her fellow students. I really did enjoy it, talk about a crazy combination of genres, it's shocking, funny, romantic, goofy, but there's also a bit of depth to it, I really liked how it concluded, it delivered some knockout emotional blows. A definite 80's high school vibe feel about it, it's well presented, nicely made, and well acted. Ambiguity can sometimes be irritating in films, it wasn't here, the point of the film was the effect on Mara, not the actual spontaneous popping off. How good was as Katherine Langford as Mara, I thought she was excellent as the lead, I loved how natural she was, and just how the character behaved. Enjoyed it, 8/10.

Mara Carlyle (Katherine Langford) is a regular high school senior and then a classmate spontaneously explodes in class. Film nerd Dylan Hovemeyer (Charlie Plummer) is driven to act on his longtime crush on Mara. They begin a romance as more students explode. The students could have done more to try to solve their exploding problem. It's interesting that the movie doesn't try to concentrate on that. It's almost an unknowable problem analogous to mass shootings. Like so many big problems facing the youth today, they are almost helpless in the face of them and that's how these kids react in this movie. The thoughts and prayers moment says it all. It's also the E.T. Elliott moment. The problem is too big and they make a joke of it. Langford continues to play the casually cool chick very well. Plummer has an endearing quality which makes sense for the couple. It's a very sweet chemistry. I wasn't sure about the handling of the central problem until the prom. It leads to a terrific moment for the students and brings out their inner thought in a powerful way. Some may want this premise to be explained away scientifically but there is a power about the way this movie chooses to handle it.
