Great view in young adolescents


This movie adequately portrays this age, at least when I was young. I remember meeting kids like this, angry and destructive. And lying, not realizing the weight of lies...until it's too late. I thought the acting by the kids was spot on. Running around all day without authority, making decisions that could cost you everything in a blink of an eye. I also enjoyed the landscape and the soundtrack.

I thought it was pretty spot on too, and quite moving. Reminded me of so many little things I'd forgotten when I was that age. When you are a teenage boy you have all the emotions and strength to feel invincible, and the naivety to believe it.

Definitely. The landscape was another character in the film, just gorgeous. The soundtrack was amazing. The dvd extras featured a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the soundtrack. The group Bruce Peninsula did most of the music. They are really good!

Couldnt relate to it at all, never knew any kids like that either, all 3 deserved a good kick in the ass.

Movies like this make me appreciate not having kids
