Recommendation rating: 2/5
What I like about it: funny, acting, themes
What I don’t like about it: not important or great, jokes misfire
Review:
A marginal coming-of-age comedy drama about three boys who build a house in the woods and then run away to live in it. They consider themselves men but they’re not as independent or grown-up as they claim. Captures a very foolish phase of adolescence quite well but makes for generally unlikeable characters.
Content notes (may contain spoilers): violence, racism, extended scene of a rabbit being skinned
