After the boys of summer have gone
Teenager Joe is struggling at home and struggling at school. Feeling the need to get away from his life, he has a plan. Recruiting his friends Patrick and Baggio, the trio builds their own cabin away from civilization. I am a sucker for coming of age films like this one. This film has echoes of so many of my favorite kid and teenage films (The Goonies, Super 8, Adventureland). The overall positive tone of this film is tempered by the black humor and real sadness felt by everyone in the film.
The Kings of Summer reigns supreme with 4 out of 5 Poblanos!
