Genres & Description

Action Comedy Drama

7.4 / 10

Duncan (Liam James) is not a popular kid and it doesn't look like the summer is going to offer anything better for him. His mother's boyfriend has invited them to his beach house where Duncan is expected to improve his personality and physical appearance, and meet girls. But his would-be step-sister doesn't want anything to do with him and his shy demeanor makes it difficult for him to meet anybody new. When Duncan wanders into the Water Wizz, the local water park, he meets adult employees who are just having fun. Owen (Sam Rockwell) lets Duncan work with him and their new-found bond will help each other mature and find their place in life. Which for Duncan means standing up to his would-be step-father, having a conversation with the girl next door and being more comfortable with who he is.

Different writers and directors for those two films, and just because it's the same studio doesn't mean that it will be anything like those two movies. - @Saturday, September 21, 2013 10:26 PM

"This looks like a perverted, depressing and sick movie."...Oh, trust me, it's not. I just saw it with my sister and her friend and we all loved it. My sister cried at the end and I felt so very happy and good in the closing minute. It's a GREAT movie! :-) - @Friday, July 19, 2013 9:55 PM

By looks of the trailer, this may be the only romcom/family movie I've ever actually wanted to see. Looks like it may have a good script; maybe an interesting plot with some witty humor. - @Saturday, April 27, 2013 2:01 AM
