Getting Grown was one of my favorites at the Mpls St. Paul International Film Festival in '05. It's a very simple story, the main character has to go to the pharmacy for his mom and on the way encounters all sort of distractions, a basketball game, a conniving uncle, and even the police. The production value is low, and the performances are varied, but it's shot on the streets of Milwaukee and it really feels like a summer afternoon in the neighborhood, but where the main character is old enough to run into troubles that might be more than he's ready to handle. As far as mood goes, the only movie I can think of to compare it to is The Straight Story, but you know, without the tractor.
