THE KINGS OF SUMMER [2013]

Jordan Vogt-Roberts' feature length theatrical debut is the quirky coming of age dramedy The Kings Of Summer.
It's the story of three teenage boys who decide to build a house in the middle of the woods to live in, in order to escape the rules under their parent's roofs.  At times it seems to go overboard with the forced quirkiness but it provides enough laughs and likable characters to be highly enjoyable.  There's some beautiful photography, great music and a strong cast that makes this light-hearted drama well worth seeking out.
