The Way, Way Back - spoilers I guess

Had high hopes for this one, but thought it was mediocre and very forgettable. The scenes at the water park with Rockwell were solid, but that's about it.

Well, I thought it was a good movie. Heck, I even saw it twice.

thought the movie was great.

Giving Duncan a 3 is generous. That mouth breather fricking sucked. The girl next door would have been the only non awful character, but she liked Duncan. There goes that.

i think you missed the point of the movie. the kid was depressed

I had high expectations and enjoyed it for the most part. It was a little over the top with all the coming-of-age cliches that it had though.

Sam Rockwell, just like most if not all the movies that he is in, was the best part.

I thought it was really good

This thread is weird. Thought it was great. I thought the lead kid did a good job as Steve Carell was funning awesome as the dick boyfriend. And obviously Sam Rockwell was great too.

It's a simple, straightforward sort of coming of age movie about a summer job at a waterpark. What's not to like?

I said I liked it. Just odd in that I enjoyed it despite every single character having fricking awful qualities.

Steve Carrell? Dick
Mom? Soft
Daughter? Bitch
Duncan? Mouth breather who makes things ridiculously hard on himself.
Girl Next door? Likes Duncan
Rockwell? 40 year old man who walks around a water park all day being a smartass to kids

Etc etc etc.
