Description

A runaway audience smash at the Sundance Film Festival, Son of Rambow is a hilariously fresh and visually inventive take on friendship, family, film heroes and the death-defying adventures of growing up in the video age. It all begins in 1980s Britain, when young Will Proudfoot, raised in isolation among The Brethren, a group which strictly forbids music and TV, encounters something beyond his wildest fantasies: a pirated copy of Rambo: First Blood. His virgin viewing of the iconic thriller blows his mind – and rapidly expanding imagination – wide open. Now, Will sets out to join forces with the seemingly diabolical school bully, Lee Carter, to make their own action epic, devising wildly creative, on-the-fly stunts, not to mention equally elaborate schemes for creating a movie of total commitment and non-stop thrills while hiding out from The Brethren. But when school popularity finally descends on Will and Lee in the form of, oui, the super-cool French exchange student, Didier Revol, their remarkable new friendship and precious film are pushed, quite literally, to the breaking point...

    THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER. Will Proudfoot is the best, so innocent and funny, Lee Carter is a heartwarming boy who you learn to love, Lawrence is the enemy at first but you are rooting for him in the end, I don't even remember the French Kid's name but OH MY GOSH he was so cool looking! The Best movie in the world and something you will love to death!

    This is a movie about friendship and imagination. I was a lot like these kids. Hilarious sequences involving flying dogs and crazy stunts will keep you laughing and the story will certainly keep you engaged. By the end, the boys' film ends up being shown in a theater and it's a really great moment in the story. Buy, buy, BUY THIS MOVIE. It's one of the best films on iTunes.

    This movie is great!! I saw the trailer a long time ago, and just recently had a party, and at the end we didn't know what to choose--so we watched this. It will surprise you how good this movie is. The trailer makes it look very slap-stick, but its actually very touching! 9/10! I give it 9 out of 10 because its not the greatest movie ever or anything but its still really good!
  • The Trailer Lies!

    In the Trailer it says: get ready for...Romance. This movie has not romance in it (excluding friendship) Never the less this movie is fantastic. This is a kids movie but it does have some drug use and mild language in it. So if you don't want your kids seeing that then don't watch this. For everyone else this is a Great rentle for a family movie night. Pros 1) Funny 2) Great Story 3) Fantastic Soundtrack Cons 1) Mild language 2) Subliminal drug use. I highly recamend you get the soundtrack as well. Search it on iTunes

    I first saw this movie on a 15 hour plane flight because I had nothing else to do. Special thanks to Delta for introducing me to the most charming film I have ever encountered. This movie perfectly captures the innocence in childhood, and young Will is one of the most endearing characters of all time. I cannot recommend this movie highly enough. If you are looking for a genuinely funny and memorable movie experience, you can't go wrong with Son of Rambow.
