The Way Way Back Movie.

The way way back.

This is from the website:

The funny and poignant coming of age story of 14-year-old Duncan’s (Liam James) summer vacation with his mother, Pam (Toni Collette), her overbearing boyfriend, Trent (Steve Carell), and his daughter, Steph (Zoe Levin).  Having a rough time fitting in, the introverted Duncan finds an unexpected friend in gregarious Owen (Sam Rockwell), manager of the Water Wizz water park. Through his funny, clandestine friendship with Owen, Duncan slowly opens up to and begins to finally find his place in the world - all during a summer he will never forget.

 I Thought the movie was funny although I would not recommend taking anyone under 12 or 13. Some parts are sexual, and there are brief drug and alcohol references. You can view the trailer on youtube. I Can't wait for it to come out so I can see it again.

If you went to the screening you got a free t-shirt that says Water Wizz STAFF. I am now free advertising. If you missed last night's screening you will have to wait until it releases in theaters on July 5th.

Thank you for reading my post,

Perks of Being a Wallflower


The Perks of Being a Wallflower may seem like a cute story from the outside, but it gets down to the serious issues that teenagers might have going into high school. But like most stories, the characters get their “happy endings”, but they all went through difficult times in order to get there. So if you’re looking for a movie that is fun, yet serious, this might be it.
