"No patterns on my quarter, cut your own path." Duncan is a shy teenager who is stuck in a summer with his mom and her new boyfriend Trent (Carell). Duncan has no self esteem and when he leaves one day he ends up at a water park where he meets Owen (Rockwell) and finds himself. This is a very very funny and touching movie that all teens with low esteem should watch. This is a very different part for Carell and he does do a great job in this. As likable as Carell is you really hate him in this movie. This is also another movie that continues the trend of the lower budget movies being much much better then the big tent-pole movies that are being released. This is kind of hard to review since the movie is really nothing more then a kid gaining confidence over a summer but it feels like so much more then that. The kid that plays Duncan is great and Sam Rockwell is perfect in this. A great movie with great actors and a great message. A real must see. I highly recommend this. Overall, one of the best movies of the year. I give it an A.
