Plot Story : Premiering to rave reviews at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, THE KINGS OF SUMMER is a unique coming-of-age comedy about three teenage friends - Joe (Nick Robinson), Patrick (Gabriel Basso) and the eccentric and unpredictable Biaggio (Moises Arias) - who, in the ultimate act of independence, decide to spend their summer building a house in the woods and living off the land. Free from their parents' rules, their idyllic summer quickly becomes a test of friendship as each boy learns to appreciate the fact that family - whether it is the one you're born into or the one you create - is something you can't run away from.

Review For Movie The Kings of Summer
Coming on like Stand by Me meets Son of Rambow, the boys' adventure is essentially dreamy indie-teen wish-fulfilment.Catherine Bray-Time Out
A warm and affectionate comedy about that last great summer when you're 13 or 14 and you don't realize just how much your life is about to change and things will never be the same.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
There is much here to admire, but the overall impression is of a film that does not have the courage of its convictions.
Sheila O'Malley-Chicago Sun-Times
Once they go into the woods, the movie becomes as interesting as watching kids hang around and play with sticks.
Mick LaSalle-Hearst Newspapers
In its small, independent way, "The Kings of Summer" rules.
Tom Long-Detroit News
Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts and writer Chris Galletta bring a fresh and sympathetic eye to the story, evoking the pleasure of what feels - for a little while - like endless possibilities.
Nell Minow-Chicago Sun-Times
Mashes a heightened sense of the absurd rather awkwardly up against arty pastoral, and the mock-seriousness of the endeavor comes across as unpleasantly snide.
MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher
With a good helping of humor and engaging performances, The Kings of Summer makes for a delightfully entertaining coming of age tale.
Jeff Beck-We Got This Covered
Like lazy summer days, it will be forgotten almost as soon as it's over.
Josh Bell-Film Racket
Rich in suburban subtext, The Kings Of Summer is a coming-of-age indie movie full of poignancy, charm and strong performances.
Michael Leader-Film4
Thanks in no small part to its trio of hugely likeable teenage leads, the film breezes along, mixing comedy with drama to often seamless effect, while exploring the kind of issues that viewers can all find relatable.
Rob Carnevale-The List
Quirky, funny, occasionally too whimsical and at times implausible, it's rather like Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn meeting the cast of Rebel Without a Cause.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
This is the kind of American independent comedy-drama that restores our faith in the cinema, combining a talented cast, witty direction and a razor-sharp script to reboot the coming-of-age genre.
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
The Kings of Summer can't quite decide between dysfunctional family drama, the aesthetics of floaty Americana, Goonies-brand adventurism and outbursts of rip-roaring comedy.
Tara Brady-Irish Times
The reasons for raves at the Sundance Film Festival? The film's charm, freshness, wit and skewiness of vision.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
Like a summer fling, forgotten as soon as you re-enter the real world.
Adam Woodward-Little White Lies
It lollops along to its own lazy drumbeat, perfectly evoking that too-brief time of life when you could pass the evenings drunk on stolen beer and all the spare time you could dream of.
Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph
A sunny and reasonably funny coming-of-ager from Sundance-ratified debutant Jordan Vogt-Roberts.
Mike McCahill-Guardian [UK]
The spirit of Stand By Me lives on in The Kings of Summer, a poignant and frequently hilarious coming-of-age film about three teenage friends yearning for freedom and independence.
Simon Reynolds-Digital Spy
First love, a friend's powerless deception and a perfectly timeless score, credited to Ryan Miller, keep things moving along in a feel-good kind of way.
John Urbancich-Sun Newspapers of Cleveland
The first two-thirds of the movie felt rather special, while the last third less so. Still, it has its charms, the kids are appealing and it's worth catching.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
The kids are superb - the ups and downs of the Joe/Patrick friendship ring true, while oddball Moises Arias steals scenes left, right and off-centre.
Matthew Leyland-Total Film
A hugely enjoyable, acutely observed and frequently hilarious coming-of-age drama with a delightful script, likeable characters and terrific performances from a note-perfect cast.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
A supremely entertaining adventure that might threaten to fall over a couple of times but always regains its balance.
Tim Evans-Sky Movies
It's impeccably stylized, but that only makes it seem more like hand-me-down Wes Anderson, a vaporous amassment of quirk.
Scott Tobias-The Dissolve
