The Kings of Summer Movie Review | |
| Once they go into the woods, the movie becomes as interesting as watching kids hang around and play with sticks. Mick LaSalle-Hearst Newspapers In its small, independent way, "The Kings of Summer" rules. Tom Long-Detroit News Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts and writer Chris Galletta bring a fresh and sympathetic eye to the story, evoking the pleasure of what feels - for a little while - like endless possibilities. Nell Minow-Chicago Sun-Times The foundation of a much better movie is buried somewhere beneath the debris that's too quickly piled on to The Kings of Summer ... Geoff Pevere-Globe and Mail Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts cut his teeth on network cable series and Internet comedy shorts, and it shows. Instead of developing a genuine perspective he simply repeats the same few stylistic gestures ad infinitum. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader Starts out as a raunchy teen comedy, slips into nature-epic mode, then adds a romantic triangle and finally finds a comfort zone in family-sitcom land. John Hartl-Seattle Times Between a host of memorable performances by a cast of relative newcomers, and a haunting, grungy score, this coming-of-age comedy is a bona fide sleeper not to be missed. Kam Williams-Sly Fox Refreshingly touching and genuinely funny coming-of-age story, cleverly capturing a poignant, formative interlude. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate Why not go out on a limb and call it the next summer classic? Chris Knight-National Post The tone of The Kings of Summer is unique: Stand by Me by way of Napoleon Dynamite. Steve Davis-Austin Chronicle It's basically 'Stand by Me' for dummies. And I'm betting even the 'dummies' will get wise fast to the fact that the only throne 'Kings' is worthy of sitting upon is constructed of porcelain. Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger The Kings of Summer is the cinematic equivalent of an Arctic-cold popsicle on a Sahara-hot day. Refreshing and satisfying but not overly sentimental, the film taps into the frustrations of adolescence with warmth and wit. Cary Darling-Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com This just could have been so much more. In fact, it SHOULD have been so much more. (Complete Content Details for Parents are also available) Teddy Durgin-Screen It! There's something to be said for restraint, even when dealing with impulsive characters in a carefree scenario. Mark Dujsik-Mark Reviews Movies The first feature film from "Funny or Die..." director Jordan Vogt-Roberts, "The Kings of Summer" isn't very funny and dies slowly but surely as a coming-of-age film that bludgeons the viewer with its own quirkiness. Dustin Putman-DustinPutman.com ...an excellent alternative to the usual summer barrage of big budget actioners. I hope the tweenies that should see do see it. Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews Witty direction and an exceptionally sharp script give this coming-of-age film a blast of originality that completely wins us over. Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall The ideas of independence, young love and pushing the boundaries of friendship are so familiar, but in "The Kings of Summer" it's as if you're dealing with them for the first time. Nina Garin-San Diego Union-Tribune It loses its way, but the first half is fresh and funny enough to make it worthwhile. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press The sharp wit, soft-focus cinematography and slow-motion lyricism lift it into the realm of this summer's nicest surprises. Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch | |
