About this movie

Dive into this hilarious comedy from the studio that brought you Little Miss Sunshine and Juno! While 14-year-old Duncan (Liam James) is being dragged on a family trip with his mom (Toni Collette) and her overbearing boyfriend (Steve Carell), he befriends the gregarious manager (Sam Rockwell) of a local water park. The two form a powerful bond, resulting in a vacation Duncan will never forget!

I don't know that I'd call it a hilarious comedy, but it's a really enjoyable film all the same and could've easily watched more so shame there's no sequel. I kind of felt like it didn't really go anywhere, but at the same time that's what makes it work well; you're not distracted by wondering how it'll play out and instead get to enjoy the characterisation which is refreshing. Definitely worth a watch.

Had never heard of it, but bought it after a recommendation from a friend and absolutely loved it. Great characters, great fun and makes you feel a few feels when it counts. Brilliant!

I love this film, much more interesting than the usual coming of age tripe that is regularly turned out. Steve c shows that he can play alternative parts by being the mildly bullying and acerbic step dad ..amazing film
