The Way, Way Back

Terrible movie

Wonderful

this story was a great way to spend a couple of hours. fun, cringey, real, and it has a ‘feel good’ sense to it that we need during this trying era.

One of my favorite movies, every young man needs someone like Owen in their life. Loved it!

One of my favorites

And excellent comedy with some light drama aspects, we loved the human aspect of the movie, its suitable for all family

One of the most heartfelt, feel-good, cry-and-laugh at the same time movies of the last 10 years. A must watch!

I was very surprised and very impressed by the acting. Who knew Steve Carrell could act like a jerk? He was so convincing that I really hated him. Amanda Peet whom I've always thought as underrated, nailed her role. Liam James rocked the Pop-n-Lock. Rockwell & Rudolph left us wanting more. Only thing I didn't get about this movie was the title. The Way Way Back...what's that mean, already?

Im a little confused as to why this movie got such great reviews. It is mediocre at best. Another over productionalized kid movie. The plot didnt even start to take place until more than halfway through the movie. And the acting was terrible. Poor job by the casting director. Maya Rudolph? Seriously? And Steve Carell in the roll he was in?? He doesnt do mean and douchey rolls. This movie jumped all over the place. Terrible at telling and conveying the story that was meant to be told. Thank goodness I only rented this movie. Do yourself a favor and dont waste your time with this movie.

I watched this movie and a airplane and was fully engaged. It you have ever felt out of place or awkward, or alone, this movie shold be watched. After watching in my seat, I told both my daughters to watch it. They reluctantly agreed, and both thanked me later.
