Review of The Kings of Summer (2013) by Ryan R — 03 Mar 2015

Greatly disappointed by this film.

Being a teenager isn't easy and sometimes you want to runaway and do your own thing. I totally get that, and these kids actually do that and build a house (In what seemed like a couple of days) and decide to live in it to get away from their parents. Patrick's parents are a little over bearing and embarrassing. Biaggio's we don't know, and Joe is a whiny, self-absorbed, selfish prick. Which he gets from his father. Growing up there wouldn't be the easiest, but having a dead mother doesn't mean you can be a prick to everyone and throw tantrums whenever something doesn't go your way. This character almost completely ruined the movie for me.
