‘The Kings of Summer’
The Kings of Summer takes Lord of the Flies to the next level. Three teen boys build a cabin out in the middle of the woods to enjoy their summer without the burden of their parents — instead of endless monopoly games and yard work, they’ll swim in a lake and hunt for food. It may not be the best plan, but it sure sounds fun. But when Joe (Nick Robinson) and Patrick (Gabriel Basso) start arguing over girls, their peaceful little hideaway begins to collapse. Biaggio (Moisés Arias) is the true star of the bunch, tagging along as the weirdo sidekick with a sword. The Kings of Summer is a charming coming-of-age movie, and it’s perfect for a summer movie night.
