The Way Way Back - Review

This film revolving around a dating couple with kids from other spouses' and the many hardships they all face including one the teenaged son's friend faces during the movie wound up being a great one to watch with the right charismatics and actors for this film.  The entire story was interesting and the ways it relates to many outcomes of modern day families which I appreciated.  With the many films out there, it is very hard to relate to the struggling middle class family with many obstacles to overcome.  I was also impressed by the concept of a young teenager helping out a struggling adult and vise versa in this film.  I also enjoyed how the young teenager advances from being less socially awkward and timid from the beginning of the film.  The acting in this film by all the actors was truly great.  The one thing I didn't enjoy was how Steve Carrell's character was caught in a certain act (not spoiling anymore) yet it didn't focus much on it at all.  I also didn't like how the movie just dove into the dysfunctions of this family.  Other than that, I can highly recommend this film as I really did enjoy it.

Rating - 3.5/5
