Review of Son of Rambow (2007) by James M — 23 Apr 2013
Reminded me very much of "Rushmore" with the reenactment of Rambo by kids. I never really got Rushmore either, and perhaps not this film either.
The kids are annoying, the bully is a bully, and the protagonist is too guilable and too decent. The French new romantic kid is too niche, as the film middle classness sets up a very anti or polar opposite of "This is England".
The ending brings it all together, in quite a sweet touching way, its just a shame the first 2 thirds were so soft and hard work.
