Review of Son of Rambow (2007) by Robert B — 17 Jun 2009

I liked this film a lot. It's as if it has a any great surprise in storytelling but the 2 kids who act in this film do a great job of portraying a religiously repressed boy forbidden to watch TV/ films who's accidentaly sees his first movie and it's FIRST BLOOD.

A story of friendship and loss. I think adults of my generation (the 80's) will see more into it than the younger crowd. His buddy is trying to make a Rambo like action film and they end up using almost every kid in the neighborhood to help make the film based on the first boy's wild imagination.

I chuckled when I saw the kid's video camera as it's the same one I have when we and my gang of neighborhood kids were making space war flicks in the basement.
