A sweet yet fleeting trifle.

With a good helping of humor and engaging performances, The Kings of Summer makes for a delightfully entertaining coming of age tale.
September 30, 2013
Mashes a heightened sense of the absurd rather awkwardly up against arty pastoral, and the mock-seriousness of the endeavor comes across as unpleasantly snide.

While it openly evokes the spirit of pictures like "Stand By Me" and "Moonrise Kingdom," it scores originality points in the shading of its characters.

If you were lucky enough to grow up near the woods, you'll see how true the movie is to the tenor of adolescent exploration. This is a kid's film in the best sense of the word, not a movie for kids, but a great story about being a kid.

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

A slick piece of work that juts out at just enough odd angles to be idiosyncratic, but never alienating.

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

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

In its small, independent way, "The Kings of Summer" rules.
June 13, 2013
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.
June 20, 2013
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.
