The Kings of Summer Movie Review: | |
| [The Kings of Summer] has some vitality, but it sinks into cliché just the same. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor "The Kings of Summer" invokes [John Hughes movies] without Xeroxing them, creating its own little oddball suburbia. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger Less a movie than a checklist of indiecinema clichés. Youth on a journey of self-discovery? Got it. Dead mom? Uh-huh. Wounded and entitled when it's trying to be soulful, plotless, laden with indie rock and entirely overhyped at Sundance? Checkarooney. Kyle Smith-New York Post It's easy enough to drift along with this slight, quirky charmer and when the puffed-up dramatic stuff gives way to the central theme of a father and son reconnecting, the film really works. Mary F. Pols-TIME Magazine The film starts unraveling fast as fable and reality collide in messy ways. But for a brief moment the kings have their day in the sun. Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times Like the fading of day into twilight, the ephemeral nature of youth is deftly captured in The Kings of Summer. Claudia Puig-USA Today Between a host of memorable performances by a cast of relative newcomers, and a haunting, grungy score, this coming-of-age comedy is a bona fide sleeper not to be missed. Kam Williams-AALBC.com Knows how to be funny, but it can also be a bit too studiedly random, e.g. in generating Biaggio's vaguely creepy non sequiturs and in indulging long digressions about giant wontons and avocado meat. Eugene Novikov-Film Blather A coming-of-age tale that touches a lot of bases and explores a variety of tones in ways that most films are too timid to do. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine The Kings of Summer may not be a great movie but it's definitely an original. Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks Loved Stand By Me? This is for you. The Kings Of Summer is absolutely wonderful, a welcome gift for moviegoers and a true gem in a season of non-stop mayhem. Don't Miss it. Pete Hammond-Movieline For all its humor and fleeting moments of beauty, The Kings of Summer feels like a cluster of cheap narrative devices posing as a finished film. Bilge Ebiri-Vulture "The Kings of Summer" boasts some of the deadpan melancholy one associates with Wes Anderson's best work, but it doesn't have quite the same bite or insight. Tim Grierson-IFC.com So what if The Kings of Summer backs away from greatness and builds itself a little fort in indie comedy central instead? That's not so bad. It's still a pretty neat fort. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline The father/son tension between Frank and Joe is also effectively handled, with Offerman in particular striking notes that skirt around the typical coming-of-age, daddy-just-doesn't-get-me clichés. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity While the premise of the film is outlandish, the feelings are all real...Director Vogt-Roberts and screenwriter Chris Galletta are in perfect unison on this film, harmonizing to create what feels like a fresh comic voice. Cory Everett-The Playlist The Kings Of Summer sets the bar on "coming of age" movies a little bit higher than most, utilizing feel-good filmmaking and childhood nostalgia to carry us through an enchanting story of transformation. Matt Donato-We Got This Covered A rebellious and creative Ohio teenager tries to forge his own passage from adolescence into manhood in the woods with two buddies. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice | |
