The Kings of Summer



What I liked:

  • Perfectly casted with Nick Offerman, Nick Robinson, Gabriel Basso, Moises Arias, Alison Brie, Megan Mullally, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Marc Evan Jackson, Erin Moriarty, Kumail Nanjiani, Thomas Middleditch and Tony Hale.
  • It was filmed in and around Cleveland including Chagrin Falls, Berea, The Cleveland Metroparks, and possibly Whipps Ledges.
  • It's a delightful coming of age story about falling in love, being annoyed by your parents, and claiming your independence.
  • There is great dialogue, very natural and real.
  • I liked that the score had a video game vibe to it.
  • The Kings of Summer is a better title than the original, Toy's House.
  • If you like Joe's "Vacation in Cleveland" shirt, you can get it here: http://www.cleclothingco.com/product/vacation-in-cleveland

What I didn't like:
  • Didn't Biaggio's parents wonder where he was?
