Review of The Way Way Back (2013) by Jon D — 10 Dec 2013
This is a highly entertaining and often times moving coming of age story. Sure, this storyline has been written and rewritten dozens of times (most recently 2009's 'Adventureland'), but 'The Way Way Back' is a refreshing take on the venerable "summer vacation" comedy.
Packed with countless funny bits and a terrific cast, 'The Way Way Back' is a nostalgic romp and a portrait of a carefree summer in Cape Cod that many of us have either have had or really wish we did have.
An extra added bonus is Sam Rockwell as Owen, proving once again why he is one of the finest, most underrated actors of the day.
