Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Coming on like Stand by Me meets Son of Rambow, the boys' adventure is essentially dreamy indie-teen wish-fulfilment.

A warm and affectionate comedy about that last great summer when you're 13 or 14 and you don't realize just how much your life is about to change and things will never be the same.

fresh:
This willfully eccentric tale about teenage boys in suburban Ohio fleeing their families to live in the deep woods plays like an erratic comic revue slapped together at theater camp.

rotten:
There is much here to admire, but the overall impression is of a film that does not have the courage of its convictions.

Once they go into the woods, the movie becomes as interesting as watching kids hang around and play with sticks.
