TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 1d The Kings of Summer is a heartfelt coming-of-age film that blends comedy, friendship, and self-discovery into an engaging adventure. Nick Robinson and Gabriel Basso deliver excellent performances as two teenagers determined to escape their home lives by building a house in the woods, while Moisés Arias adds plenty of quirky humor that keeps the story entertaining. The screenplay does a great job capturing the desire for independence and the struggles of growing up, making the boys’ journey feel relatable. My biggest issue is the parents, whose scenes often slow the movie down and take attention away from the far more interesting adventure in the woods. I would have preferred much more focus on the boys and the friendship that slowly begins to fracture. Even with that flaw, the film remains entertaining and emotionally satisfying.

The third section dragged a little bit it was absolutely worth the watch.

Se disfruta con facilidad y deja una sensación agradable al terminar.

I really enjoyed this film, it was really well made and has a really hilarious script. I was really impressed by the acting in this film. The three leads all do great (especially whoever plays Biaggio), and the supporting cast is stellar. Jordan Vogt-Roberts does a surprisingly good job directing for a newcomer too. It's beautifully shot by him and his ethereal visions of nature and this Eden the kids are escaping to in this film was phenomenal and really adds another layer to the film. The Kings of Summer was a surprisingly well made and very enjoyable coming of age watch for the summer.

See more Georgan G @RT98616417 08/26/2024 Definitely has its moments of emotion. Yet something is either over done or completely missing. Sweet movie, but pretty silly. See more Read all reviews
