Film on Sunday - THE KINGS OF SUMMER

USA   2013   95 mins.   Cert. 15

Director:  Jordan Vogt-Roberts    Cast: Nick Robinson, Gabriel Basso, Moises Arias

Three fifteen-year-old boys living in comfortable suburbia become bored and decide to run off and live in the woods. Free from their parents' rules, their idyllic summer quickly becomes a test of friendship and the realization that it is not that easy to run away from family. A hugely enjoyable, acutely observed and frequently hilarious coming-of-age drama with more than a touch of the Huckleberry Finns.
