Premiering to rave reviews at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, THE KINGS OF SUMMER is a unique coming-of-age comedy about three teenage friends - Joe (Nick Robinson), Patrick (Gabriel Basso) and the eccentric and unpredictable Biaggio (Moises Arias) - who, in the ultimate act of independence, decide to spend their summer building a house in the woods and living off the land. Free from their parents' rules, their idyllic summer quickly becomes a test of friendship as each boy learns to appreciate the fact that family - whether it is the one you're born into or the one you create - is something you can't run away from.

Review For Movie The Kings of Summer
A warm and affectionate comedy about that last great summer when you're 13 or 14 and you don't realize just how much your life is about to change and things will never be the same.Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
There is much here to admire, but the overall impression is of a film that does not have the courage of its convictions.
Sheila O'Malley-Chicago Sun-Times
Once they go into the woods, the movie becomes as interesting as watching kids hang around and play with sticks.
Mick LaSalle-Hearst Newspapers
In its small, independent way, "The Kings of Summer" rules.
Tom Long-Detroit News
Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts and writer Chris Galletta bring a fresh and sympathetic eye to the story, evoking the pleasure of what feels - for a little while - like endless possibilities.
Nell Minow-Chicago Sun-Times
The foundation of a much better movie is buried somewhere beneath the debris that's too quickly piled on to The Kings of Summer ...
Geoff Pevere-Globe and Mail
The spirit of Stand By Me lives on in The Kings of Summer, a poignant and frequently hilarious coming-of-age film about three teenage friends yearning for freedom and independence.
Simon Reynolds-Digital Spy
First love, a friend's powerless deception and a perfectly timeless score, credited to Ryan Miller, keep things moving along in a feel-good kind of way.
John Urbancich-Sun Newspapers of Cleveland
The first two-thirds of the movie felt rather special, while the last third less so. Still, it has its charms, the kids are appealing and it's worth catching.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
The kids are superb - the ups and downs of the Joe/Patrick friendship ring true, while oddball Moises Arias steals scenes left, right and off-centre.
Matthew Leyland-Total Film
A hugely enjoyable, acutely observed and frequently hilarious coming-of-age drama with a delightful script, likeable characters and terrific performances from a note-perfect cast.
Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
A supremely entertaining adventure that might threaten to fall over a couple of times but always regains its balance.
Tim Evans-Sky Movies
It's impeccably stylized, but that only makes it seem more like hand-me-down Wes Anderson, a vaporous amassment of quirk.
Scott Tobias-The Dissolve
Deserves recognition for its light, often hilarious depiction of summertime boyhood and the impatience to become an adult.
Eric D. Snider-eFilmCritic.com
Coming-of-age tales are generally a dime a dozen, but here's one pretty much guaranteed to make viewers feel like a million bucks.
Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing
There will be movies with bigger casts, louder explosions and more zombies -- but few will boast the sheer spirit of The Kings of Summer.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
The filmmakers... opt for a mostly witty Sundance-branded coming-of-age sitcom featuring lucky good looks, accelerated maturity, sexual ease, quick wits, cooperative facial hair and a distinct lack of teenage awkwardness.
Dave White-Movies.com
Likable and humane, with telltale hints of a grand scheme.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
This willfully eccentric tale about teenage boys in suburban Ohio fleeing their families to live in the deep woods plays like an erratic comic revue slapped together at theater camp.
Michael Sragow-Orange County Register
A summer pleasure.
Rich Heldenfels-Akron Beacon Journal
... refreshing and surprising, charming and poignant, with just enough plausibility in its exaggerated concept to keep moviegoers rooting for its trio of teenage heroes.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
The Kings Of Summer is a brilliant, endearing and engaging coming of age comedy, not only the funniest film of the year, but also the best film of the year to date.
Sam Bathe-Fan The Fire
Between a host of memorable performances by a cast of relative newcomers, and a haunting, grungy score, this coming-of-age comedy is a bona fide sleeper not to be missed.
Kam Williams-Sly Fox
Refreshingly touching and genuinely funny coming-of-age story, cleverly capturing a poignant, formative interlude.
Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
