Son of Rambow

2008 • 95 minutes

About this movie

A long English summer in the early '80s and two boys are about to form an unlikely friendship. Will Proudfoot has been brought up in a strictly religious household, forbidden to watch TV or listen to music. But after Lee Carter, the school trouble-maker, blows Will's mind with a pirate copy of Rambo: First Blood, Will's easily persuaded to act in Lee's home made movie sequel. Armed only with a camera "borrowed" from Lee's brother and their limitless imagination, the pair plot stunt after stunt, dodging teachers and family all the way, as they do whatever it takes to finish their masterpiece in time to enter it in the Screen Test competition. Directed by Garth Jennings (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), SON OF RAMBOW is a heart-warming nostalgic comedy about two boys with a big video camera and even bigger ambitions.

Ratings and reviews

It has been a very long time since I've seen this film, in fact I'm going to dig it out and watch it with my boys this weekend...

Reflect how children can be missinterpreted and how they usé behaviour as a language without even know it.

Not bad but not good. In the middle of good and bad. Yes. In the middle
