The Way, Way Back Movie Review: | |
| With its subtle wit, engaging story, topnotch ensemble cast and sparkling dialogue, it's this summer's Little Miss Sunshine. Claudia Puig-USA Today "The Way, Way Back" has the charm of timelessness but also more than a touch of triteness. A.O. Scott-New York Times Brimming with summer nostalgia as familiar as sunburned noses and marshmallow roasts bolstered by solid performances, The Way, Way Back is carried along nicely by a cracking good script. Linda Barnard-Toronto Star [An] absolutely superb coming-of-age film. Bill Zwecker-Chicago Sun-Times It's smart, funny and moving about human weakness. And it doesn't divide the world into good and bad adults - not counting that one bona-fide creep and his clueless squeeze. Ella Taylor-NPR It meanders a bit, it's a little lacking in structure, but it's full of small memorable moments - and you're sad when it's over. Jocelyn Noveck-Associated Press So funny and fresh that you don't mind watching it hit all the expected marks. Alonso Duralde-What the Flick?! Labors under the delusion that all filmmakers need to engineer a crowd-pleaser are a collection of tried-and-true conventions and a healthy dose of nostalgia. A.A. Dowd-AV Club Alternately charming, penetrating and rote comedy-drama...an agreeable, insightful if uneven film. Frank Swietek-One Guy's Opinion A feel-good comedy and coming-of-age film where a shy teenager opens to the adventures of life, humor, and self-expression during a summer vacation. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice If possible, I would blend The Way, Way Back with ice and syrup and drink it all summer. Matt Pais-RedEye It's a sunstruck comedy with enough pain at the edges to keep you aware that something is at stake. Craig Seligman-Bloomberg News Tough and tinged with the kind of nostalgia that's both bitter and sweet. Very funny at times, sometimes painfully so, "The Way Way Back" deserves to become a go-to summer movie. Dustin Putman-DustinPutman.com The summer's brightest and wittiest comedy so far, a true ensemble piece. Harvey S. Karten-Compuserve Pop music montages and tear-filled spats introduce occasional flashes of emotion into the proceedings, but "The Way, Way Back" mostly just harkens back to better versions of its hackneyed plot. Eric Kohn-indieWIRE It's a bittersweet, heartwarming delight! Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate Overall, there is a sweetness to the film, most of it stemming from Liam James. He carries the film, zombie-like at first, but ably once his character comes slowly alive. Harry Haun-Film Journal International | |
