YC Review: The Kings Of Summer
Why Live When You Can Rule? Being a film fanatic there is nothing better than stumbling across a fantastic film. One of these is The Kings Of Summer. I watched it thanks to the availability on Amazon Prime Instant Video. I love a good quirky coming-of-age film. But if someone described this film to me, I'd probably turn away. It's about three teenage boys who, fed up with their previous lives, run away and build a house in the woods. An odd concept, but the story is fantastic. Starring Nick Robinson, Gabriel Basso, and Moisés Arias as the three boys, they 'fend for themselves' and learn to grow into men. The beginning and the beginning of the end are the weaker parts, the beginning when trying to find reasons for the teens to run away, they're not particularly great reasons, but very typical teenage ones. I've outgrown my teenage years, do teens still run away because their dad makes awkward jokes? The end gets a little bit too love triangly for my liki...
