trailer
Set in "A long, hot summer in the early '80s", the film is a gentle coming-of-age comedy. It tells the story of two schoolboys who are inspired by Rambo: First Blood (which they see on a pirate videotape) to make their own action adventure film. Lee Carter (Will Poulter) — the worst-behaved boy in school — has access to home video equipment as he helps his brother's video pirating enterprises. Will (Bill Milner) couldn't be more different; quiet and shy he comes from a family who belong to the strict Plymouth Brethren religious sect; he is forbidden to watch films or television. When he gets caught up with Carter and accidentally sees First Blood, he is blown away, and becomes Carter's willing co-star and stuntman.

Their film takes on a chaotic life of its own, as they fight to keep control of it, and also to keep it secret from Will's family. Ultimately it changes the lives of both boys, and their relationships with their friends and families.
skill!

Cuuute. It looks like Rambo meets Lord of the Flies... Of course LOTFs was way more horrible than Rambo, and Rambo wasn't cute, so I'm not sure where "cute!" came from... Unless it was LOTFs mixed with the Gizmo version of Rocky from Gremlins.

Anywhoo, cute!

Dang! That could be my biography.
(And I'm sure most boys that grew up in the 80s)

We rented this the other night and it was AWESOME! Definitely one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Very funny, imaginative and a teensy bit sappy too.

I highly recommend it. :)

Bon and I went to see it at the Angelika. We're going to expose the boy to it. I think he'll dig it.
