Review of The Kings of Summer (2013) by Tvjerry — 06 Jul 2013
Two teenage friends (Nick Robinson & Gabriel Basso) have typical parent issues, so they decide to build a house and live in the woods. Somewhere alone the way, a quirky sidekick (Moises Arias in a breakout comic turn) joins the adventure.
Even though it's launched in reality, it's also set in the illusory world cinematic invention. The genuinely funny moments overshadow the trite plot. The humor sometimes has the deadpan charm of Wes Anderson without the forced quirkiness.
Accept this for a lighthearted romp in adolescent escape and you'll find yourself laffing. (Stay thru the credits for one last moment with Biaggio.
