There's not a lot I can say about this movie just that it is a MASTERPIECE. This is a movie that once watched is hard to stop watching, mainly because of the pure genius that was produced. The movie can resemble typical teenager's life that wants to spend time with their friends, being independent and mainly rule at the same time. The movie includes comedy, adventure and drama all rolled into one.
Jordan Vogt-Roberts was a first time director when making this movie and what a way to kick of his career with a movie like The Kings of Summer. He got the characters spot on in this movie and choose the perfect actors to play the characters; the three main characters are Joe Toy (Nick Robinson), Patrick Keenan (Gabriel Basso) and Biaggio (Moises Arias). He didn't just get the characters/actors spot on he got the set of where they were filming in the woods perfectly and makes me especially want to build my own house there.
Joe has just finished his freshman year in high school and is about to spend his summer with his father Frank Toy (Nick Offerman). Frank makes Joe's life a misery and Joe dislikes him this plays a main part in Joe's run away. Joe's best friend Patrick lives with his mum and dad (played by Megan Mullally and Marc Evan Jackson) Patrick seriously dislikes living with his parents mainly because they control every bit of his life by being overprotective. Not wanting to be controlled by their parents both of them decide to run off into the woods and build their own house gather the food themselves and follow their own rules without know one knowing especially their parents. It wasn't just them two though that ran away from home their strange friend Biaggio also comes along not knowing why he ran off. Wanting company the three decide to have a house warming dinner with Kelly (Erin Moriarty) and a couple other friends as well. Joe deeply loves Kelly but she doesn't feel the same way as him.
The Kings of Summer makes a great movie due to the great acting and the storyline. I highly recommend watching this as it will be a movie you wouldn't think twice of watching it again.
