Review: The Way, Way Back

Coming of age comedy

A delightful coming-of-age tale about a 14-year-old boy going on holiday with his divorced mother and her obnoxious new boyfriend (Steve Carrell plays this part pretty well!). A genuinely pleasing and relaxing 100 minutes or so, and we all enjoyed it. Gentle humour throughout helps, though the movie does labour a bit at the beginning. Average 3.7 stars from 5 of us.
