Kings of Summer

Two childhood buddies, disenchanted in their home lives, escape to the woods to build their own house and to live off the land. They are joined by another kid who is a real weirdo (and scene stealer). This is a very funny and entertaining coming of age movie as seen through the eyes of 14 year old boys. The boys' fantasies begin to fall apart as reality sets in and they learn life's lessons about family, friendship, and living on your own. If you didn't get enough of the weird kid, stay until after the credits for a pointless clip. It has been a great movie season for 14 year old boys trying to get away from adults, doing some growing up, and finding themselves. Alien recommends "Mud" & "The Way Way Back" for some equally sweet and charming stories.

Alien gives it 3 "Monopoly Game Night" stars out 4.
