Yah when i first heard about the movie, oh gosh i was really expecting a well-made movie, best fit teen and somewhat blow me away. The movie first start slowly but interestingly. I was thinking of a whole exciting plot and hope they will go that way. And the next 80 minutes of the film, all the characters really stuck in their own cage of poorly-defined characteristic. The pace was so slow and seriously, it was made for adults above 65. And the whole things was quite dull and boring. I tried to maintain sober and awake until the very last moment of the movie. But it was absolutely disappointing, and also that house is not exquisite at all :) Not highly-recommended and MUST NOT WATCH :) 4 overall for our gorgeous Patrick and Joe. And sometimes Biaggio is funny too.

There are few things more frustrating than almost, and The Kings Of Summer is an "almost" kind of movie. Despite a setup which asks us to sympathize with a pair of very self absorbed teens whose biggest problem is that - *gasp!* - their parents are annoying, it still manages to be a reasonably likable movie thanks to random fits of inspired quirkiness and a talented cast. But lost within its folds is a much, much better movie and that wasted potential ultimately serves to overshadow the entire thing.Despite this, and its ultimately muddled message, The Kings Of Summer has just enough worthwhile individual parts to recommend. -

It's kind of coming-of-age by the numbers, but to me that's absolutely fine. This movie has great directing, good acting, but the beautiful scenery steals the show. I loved the constant switches in between scenes. The movie also has some genuinely funny moments, topped of by a serious ending. It's themes and lessons are by no means unique, but the movie has this authentic quality to it that manages to make this one stand out. I might even watch this movie again sometime. I have to mention the most memorable scene. It's sort of a ritual-like dancing scene, there's something oddly special there. That's a scene worth re-watching multiple times.

Three kids, feeling their way through the anxieties of their mid-teens, get together to build a summer retreat in the woods and escape from a droll season in their parents' homes. It's hearty and funny, a great reminder of the unseen handcuff between independence and responsibility that floats into our lives at that age. The grown-ups are particularly hilarious as stiff, out-of-touch caricatures; everything we see them as during adolescence, rolled up and amplified by a few degrees. Moises Arias is the best of the young actors, playing a weird McLovin type who somehow falls into the partnership with two long-term buddies. His heavy gaze alone is usually enough to get me chuckling, and the cryptic, emotionally-detached lines that usually sprout from his lips moments later are absurdity at its best. It can get a little self-absorbed at times, and spirals off into navel-gazing in the third act, but for a good stretch in the middle it's prime coming-of-age goodness.
