A sweet, funny, earnest coming-of-age dramedy that plays out like a period piece, even though it's set in the present day. Tempering a plucky spirit and subtle, pointed sense of humor with an introverted lead character and a familiar, bittersweet atmosphere, it's a spiritual successor to the John Hughes golden age of the mid-80s. Liam James is beautifully awkward as the quiet, brooding young teenager at the story's epicenter, aided by a thoroughly deep, entertaining supporting cast. No matter how minor, every character enjoys a purpose and a motivation, enriching the scenery and tickling the viewer's curiosity with a tangle of warm, colorful subplots. Steve Carell will get plenty of attention in his unexpected turn as the boy's self-centered douchebag stand-in father, but Sam Rockwell's deeper-than-he-seems burnout splash park manager is the real show stealer. A strong, heartfelt and meaningful return visit to adolescence for anyone who's ever felt out-of-place in their own skin.

I really enjoyed this movie. Left me smiling at the end... That is always a good sign.

A Beautiful Summer Movie As summer begins, the story follows Duncan, a child who lacks popularity and doesn’t expect to make any new friends during the break. His mother’s friend invites them to spend the summer at a beach house, offering Duncan a chance to improve his social skills and meet new people. However, the daughter of his mother’s friend rejects him and bullies him, while Duncan’s shy nature makes things harder. He then meets an older boy who becomes his friend, and later connects with a group of men at a water park, forming new friendships. My rating: 7/10

I can't say why exactly, but I just love this movie. Maybe it's that subtle showing of a teenage boy struggles and growing as a man, maybe it's Sam Rockwell's charisma, maybe everything a little bit. But all together it's an awesome movie.

My favourite movie, it's give me a good feeling after i watch it❤
