    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This film was the result of "Project Greenlight," the first-time-director competition launched by Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Miramax, and was the subject of the HBO documentary of the same name, which aired in Winter 2002. The documentary revealed many behind-the-scenes snafus, which led to the mid-production firing of co-producer Jeff Balis.
    • Goofs
      When Joe O'Malley and Patrick O'Malley are sitting together in the backyard, we see Patrick holding a beer. At the end of the scene, Patrick has no beer, and Joe is "ceremonially" handing him his first beer.
    • Quotes

      Joe O'Malley: Baseball should be the only thing on an eight year old boy's mind.

    A Tremendous First Effort
    I just viewed Stolen Summer on DVD and this is a fine film for a first-time director. I am an avid movie watcher who likes everything from Kubrick to Kurosawa to Tarkovsky and it is easy to recognize that Pete Jones has incredible potential as a writer and filmmaker.

    A touching story that was well acted, edited and paced. Even the child acting was fairly good. This was a very solid effort for a first-time feature on a tight budget.

    Kevin Pollak is a very underrated actor.

    Nice job all the way around! I hope we get to see more of Pete's stuff in the future.. it should be worth it.
