"The Kings of Summer (Vogt-Roberts, 2013)"
Cute little flick for those who dig coming-of-age stories. Nick Robinson holds it down as the lead kid, but the adults steal the show-- Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, Alison Brie, Marc Evan Jackson, Tony Hale, Hannibal Buress, Kumail Nanjiani. Pacing problems, especially after the first act, but still worth checking out for those intrigued by this type of indie.

unfortunately they're not onscreen enough. Offerman was great -- they should've gone even further with his character. the kids might've been interesting, but they're stuck in looping montages and unnecessary plot twists. even a surrealistic turn (and Zack Synder levels of slow-motion) can't save the second half.
