labeatkryeziu A brilliant movie with awesome actors and a great storyline. This is a movie which i think people might enjoy more when they are a bit down and want to watch a good movie There is literally nothing bad about this movie and one of the best movies i have seen all year Im not gonna spoil anything but hear me out on this one and watch it :)

cmpatterson-86493 Coming of age films follow similar storytelling patterns. Patterns like "growing up sucks", "fathers be good to your sons/daughters", "accountability". "The Way, Way Back" follows those patterns, and yet still somehow manages to stand out as one of the best. The importance of the motherhood/fatherhood duo echo throughout this comedic drama, and are likely to shed a tear or two. Films like these transport you to moments, destinations, and memorable interactions of the past. I genuinely enjoyed watching and remembering all throughout. #thewaywayback

Asher Zeiger I confess that I had never heard of this movie, and it just happened to be starting when I was channel surfing. I decided to stay with it, and am really glad that I did - this is one of the nicest, best-thought out movies that I have seen in a very long time. The performances were all excellent, the characters were very real and believable, and story was absolutely riveting.It's not just the 14-year-old protagonist who "comes of age," but all of the positive characters really show development and growth in this movie.

kevinwhitehead-09099 I was blown away at this movie. Every performance is spot on, there are plenty of laugh- out-loud lines, and tear-jerking moments. This movie is about an awkward teenager who goes to a beach house for the summer. I won't give too much about the plot as I don't want to spoil. The performances were stunning. Sam Rockwell had to have watched meatballs to prepare for this smart-ass, funny role. Allison Janney plays the drunk neighbor who steals every scene. Steve Carrell plays the bad guy, and plays him so well. I would say one of his best performance. And Toni Collete as the mom gives a great "sad" role. I do not know how this movie was snubbed at the globes and Oscars. Rockwell and Janney should have been nominated. The writing was great, movie should have been nominated for best picture over Philomena or Captain Phillips. This is just an all around great movie
