Review For Movie The Way, Way Back
An unexpected yet irresistible cross between Meatballs and The Ice Storm, The Way Way Back just may be the best movie of the summer.Christopher Orr-The Atlantic
The coming-of-age tale The Way, Way Back is sweet, heartfelt and utterly trite and predictable from beginning to end.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
Aiming for a middle path between drama and comedy, "The Way Way Back" is so overloaded with jokes that it could sink in the water hazard, but on the final scorecard, sure enough, it's in the hole.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Nostalgia often tinges our memories in soft, warm colors; something like The Way Way Back reminds us of the good, the bad, and the cringe-worthy.
James Berardinelli-ReelViews
Once again, the oppressed American teen-ager lopes and shuffles to center stage, there to display his woes.
Anthony Lane-New Yorker
Waterslides and infidelity just don't go together.
Tom Long-Detroit News
Like its summer cousin, The Kings of Summer, The Way Way Back connects the adult in all of us to the kid we once were. Or at least who some of us were at one time.
Gary Wolcott-Tri-City Herald
A moving bit of business about a boy learning the secret to making life a day at the beach and the best work yet from two guys who really do go way, way back.
Rick Kisonak-Film Threat
This warm and upbeat coming-of-age story is brought to life by some dazzling comic writing and the wonderful performances of Sam Rockwell and Allison Janney.
Simon Weaving-Screenwize
Why are so many coming-of-age movies set in the summer? Because that's when teenagers have certain freedom to pursue love, which often ends in heartbreak. 'The Way Way Back' is a summer coming-of-age tale that's realistic, funny and bittersweet.
Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
If you're tired of superhero movies and want to be charmed by a heart-warming comedy, this is the film for you.
Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane
A puzzling mix of Meatballs and '70s loco parentis drama, with authentic loco parents.
Richard von Busack-MetroActive
It certainly doesn't break the mould, but coming-of-age drama The Way, Way Back, from writer / directors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, is sweet, gently funny, and full of terrific attention to detail.
CJ Johnson-ABC Radio (Australia)
The screenplay is unoriginal and even perhaps overstated; but it is rescued not only by outstanding performances but the observations that drive the characters
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
The film's pleasures lie in its characterizations coupled with the actions and reactions of its characters. It's real and engaging, with humour and sadness seasoning the action
Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
Aside from Carell's limited turn at doing nasty, it all feels terribly familiar, in a half-baked, Little Miss Sunshine-lite sort of way.
Ed Gibbs-The Sunday Age
Like many of the best films in this genre The Way, Way Back is rooted in truth: honest observations about family dynamics, adolescence, dependence and independence.
Leonard Maltin-indieWIRE
The film never becomes corny. The characters' actions - both good and bad - seem wholly authentic, even if they aren't the first time you've seen this happen in a film.
Kevin Carr-7M Pictures
You would have to go way, way back to find a film as touching, funny and smart as this one.
Rick Bentley-Fresno Bee
Personal reflections of adolescence automatically tug you into a story and it feels manipulative, but this film lovingly retraces pubescent steps with mirth.
Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie
Liam James is the introverted heart of the film, and is somewhat of a revelation. His perfect portrayal of a skittish boy who is forced to become assertive anchors the whole movie and makes it a coming-of-age story worth revisiting.
Eric Melin-Kansas City Star
... a tender and charming account of an angst-ridden teenage loner who finds inspiration in the most unlikely places during an otherwise disastrous vacation.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
If 'Meatballs' were relocated from a summer camp to a water park and reworked into a semi-'serious' film, with half its running time devoted to Chris Makepeace's poignant back story and dysfunctional home life, it would be something like this.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
While it's been a dismal summer for movies made FOR teenage boys (Pacific Rim, The Lone Ranger, Man of Steel), it's been an exemplary one for films made ABOUT teenage boys (The Kings of Summer, Mud and now The Way, Way Back).
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
Faxon and Rash are more than competent behind the camera and the film flows smoothly, easily mixing laughter with tears without being heavy handed. I wouldn't be surprised to see it on Oscar's short list next year.
Michael A. Smith-MediaMikes
