You won't be disappointed!

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Two brother-like friends, upset with the way they live in their homes, with parents oblivious to their kid's needs and transformation into adulthood, decide to build a house in the woods and live there. Together with a really weird kid, they run away from home and move to this house they managed to build from scrap (and stolen) materials. Surviving on freedom, rain water and the occasional hunt (from the local supermarket).It is a coming of age story, with interesting and compelling characters, but in the end it just reeks of unfulfilled childhood fantasies. A kid who could barely build a bird-house manages to construct a two story structure that doesn't fall down on him, lives in the forest and doesn't get sick and, least believable of all, finds a place in the forest that no one goes to. So it is a fairy tale, but not a Peter Pan thing, where the kid doesn't want to grow up, quite the opposite: a kid that wants to be a man and thus does what a man should.To be frank, most of the film was boring, but the characters and the issues touched upon make this a solid movie. Biaggio's character was fun and pretty much stole the show from two mopey teens who shout manhood while buying food with the money stolen from their parents. Also, as a cautionary tale: never invite a girl in a boy's club, she will frack it up!Bottom line: Biaggio and the few inspired scenes at the end made me like this film. And I am referring to when the boy is washing his hands in a hospital bathroom and remembers the cool flow of a mountain stream. It shows that it was all worth it in order to build his character and give him his own unique perspective on life. Other than that, though, I was aching to press fast-forward in a lot of scenes.

The Kings of Summer is truly a gem of a movie, it captivates the inner child in you that just wanted to be independent and be one with nature. If you take the time to watch this movie properly you will not be disappointed. Its fair to say its not just another Hollywood sell out, it actually takes you back to the mind set of being a kid that wants to explore an be free. From the heart touching friendships to the quirky kid this is a all round winner for me. It has the perfect range of romance,comedy,adventure and drama all merged into one.I hope you find as much joy in this movie as I did. I myself am a huge film fan watching thousands of them an it is really rare to come across something original an unique which this movie provides.In addition the soundtrack was really well placed an defiantly triggers the right emotions for the scenes.All acting was superber as well as the directing. Only flaw i would say was the lack of substance in the emotion an the connection with the children throughout the movie.

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.

Coming-of-age movies come in all shapes and sizes, most of them sentimental and almost all of them wistful. Some of them are about girls finding boys but most of them are about boys finding themselves, (and sometimes girls, as well). "The Kings of Summer" belongs very much to the latter category. It's gentle, lovely to look at and saves its dramas until the end; it also happens to be very funny.Here is a movie about teenage boys growing up that isn't primarily concerned with sex or violence but with building a house in the woods. It's been compared to "Stand By Me" but it's much looser. It's more like something David Gordon Green would have done early in his career but it's much tighter. It's also a little like Malick's "The Tree of Life" but without the angst and it's beautifully played, both by the boys, (Nick Robinson, Gabriel Basso, Moises Arias), and their parents, (including Megan Mullally). I loved every sweet, tender moment.
