Tween awkwardness which is sometimes really quite unbearable to watch, this coming of age story is something so familiar to all of us who went through the transition to adolescence. The film follows the footsteps of slice-of-life films like "The Descendants" or "Little Miss Sunshine." Set in a beach town with a wicked water park, this summer tale is simple and satisfying. Though much of the film gains it awesomeness from being set in a water park, the story comes to life with a brilliant ensemble cast. A simple film with no real resolution but subtle hints of it, both mother and son find themselves in the course of one summer. One thing is clear, Steve Carrell makes one hell of a douche bag boyfriend.
