The Way, Way Back Movie Review: | |
| The Way Way Back gets it wittily, thrillingly right. It turns the familiar into something bracingly fresh and funny. It makes you laugh, then breaks your heart. Peter Travers-Rolling Stone Part of what makes Way, Way Back so engaging are the terrific performances. Leah Rozen-The Wrap It's likely there will be many wet eyes in the theater as the screen goes to black. Mary F. Pols-TIME Magazine You don't see too many movies about the importance of fathers, and they're rarely done this well. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle The film is awash in safe choices, from indie-pop-accompanied montages to sitcom one-liners and black-and-white characters. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail A coming-of-age drama that manages some genuinely surprising turns despite the formulaic road it travels. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post Writer-performers Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, imbue the characters around them with three-dimensional qualities that give the movie its enormous appeal. Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks Refreshing coming-of-age tale a joy for teens and up. S. Jhoanna Robledo-Common Sense Media Sam Rockwell deserves consideration for a Best Supporting Actor nomination --- he is that good. David Kaplan-Kaplan vs. Kaplan Faxon, Rash, and their exceptionally capable cast have managed, with a story that is specific enough to feel new but universal enough to hit home. Nell Minow-Beliefnet a perceptive, incisive film about people at different points in their lives struggling or drowning Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews With a double dose of Rockwell - Norman and Sam - it's a picture-perfect portrait of what summer - and summer movies - ought to be. Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger There is a lot going on in "The Way, Way Back" and these stories are intelligently told. Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews You basically get to live vicariously through a kid who becomes Sam Rockwell's best pal, and I promise, that's all you've ever wanted, even if you don't know it yet. Vincent Mancini-FilmDrunk It has its charms, most notably in Rockwell's wise-cracking put-on artist, but it never goes for anything really deep as 2009's similarly themed "Adventureland" did, while taking a few missteps along the way. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews A sunny wonder that effortlessly out-classes such floundering box-office behemoths as The Lone Ranger and White House Down. Kurt Loder-Reason Online Warm, engaging, and thoroughly charming even though we can predict every turn in this old-fashioned coming of age story. Carell is terrific as an unlikable bully. Caryn James-James on screenS The Way, Way Back only really gets interesting when Carell enters the frame and introduces an unconventional villain into this entirely too-conventional coming-of-age scenario. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity [Duncan is] a passive participant in his own story, and that does not make for an especially admirable protagonist. Mark Dujsik-Mark Reviews Movies | |
