The Way Way Back [2013]

The story of a 14 year old kid's [Duncan] life having difficulty in adjusting to his new father and the environment. Having trouble fitting into the new environment he found a water theme park nearby and got himself a part time job and some friends there.

How his life changes from there form the rest of the story. 


The leading kid who played the role of Duncan was a bit annoying. This has the making of a good enough family movie , but the main character ruined it for me. 
I can't remember when a child actor had ruined a movie before. All others did their parts well. 
Annasophia Rob was cute. But the role for her was hardly noticeable. 

Here Steve carrell played the role of a new father. 1st time I've seen him in a bit of negative role.

Overall, a movie which could have been made better with a decent enough actor in it. Still 1 time watchable though. 

Highly overrated flick too.. Considering 7.5 on IMDB.



5.5/10
