Premise: Over the course of his summer break, a teenager comes into his own thanks in part to the friendship he strikes up with one of the park's managers.
Anyone seen this?
I loved it. Reminded me of movies I used to love when I was younger that nobody makes anymore.
I didn't. I wanted to like it, but it was kinda sloppily made, with pretty TV-grade comedy. The acting was good, but the script was very average. Also, the trailer gave away every important moment in the movie itself.
I endorse another Coming of Age film that came out this summer that you'd probably seen already - The Kings of Summer:
Gimme the Loot's also another good indie coming of age movie - albeit set in Lower East Side and is more of a street movie, like Raising Victor Vargas.
I didn't watch the trailer or knew nothing about it going in, so perhaps that is why I was pleasantly surprised.
