The Way Way Back-7/10

This is a typical small fresh movie, especially suitable for watching in summer. The cost is not high but it is very down-to-earth. The characters in the film are the most common little people in life. In addition to the good actor Duncan, Sam Rockwell is of course the most impressive. This film is also worth watching for him. In addition, Steve Carell also created the villain for the first time, and the effect was very good. In addition, the two strangers from Water Park turned out to be the director and screenwriter of the film, so talented! This is the kind of movie I like, close to life, and sincere. The fly in the ointment is that it feels a bit hasty at the end, something is missing. In general, this is a decent but forgettable summer flick. .

The Way Way Back quotes

  • Duncan: This is the only place I'm happy.

    Owen: What's going on?

    Duncan: I hate him.

    Owen: Who?

    Duncan: Trent. My mom's boyfriend. He said I was a three. He asked me what I thought I was on, a scale from one to ten. He called me a three. Who says that to somebody?

    Owen: Someone who doesn't know you.

    Duncan: I didn't want to have to answer! I shouldn't have to answer!

    Owen: Listen to me. That's about him, man. That's all about him. It's got nothing to do with you.

    Duncan: [vehemently] Yeah? How do you know?

    Owen: 'Cause I know, okay? Don't worry about how I know. My dad was the same way. That's why I don't like patterns and rules. And that's why you can't buy into that shit. You gotta go your own way. And you, my friend, are going your own way.

  • Joan: Carry a laser down the road that I must travel!

    Kip: Why would it be 'carry a laser'?

    Joan: Because it's a song about outer space.
