2008 Movie #99 - Son of Rambow
One movie away from number one fucking hundred. That's insane! I really can't help but wonder what the final number is going to be. I figure it will be somewhere in the 150-160 range, depends on how many of the smaller movies I start to see between now and the end of the year. Still, really hard to believe how far I've come and that my next movie will be one that celebrates such a huge milestone.
Son of Rambow was another movie I've had sitting on the ole computer for months and months, always thought "hey I should watch that one", but then just never did. As with In Bruges it's really too bad I didn't watch this one earlier because it's damn good.
This movie can be described in a way that very few movies I've seen this year can...it's a sweet movie. Not sweet as in awesome but sweet as in "awwww". You really don't get very many movies like that these days and it's refreshing to see one. It's a movie that makes you smile and leaves you feeling good afterwards. It also leaves you really wanting to make your own movie, a feeling I have most of the time anyway.
That's really all I have to say about this movie, it's just pleasant. It has characters you actually care about and you become invested in their story. You want good things to happen to them, which is great because most 2008 movie characters I want to see lawn mowered in the fucking face. Plus any movie that has a scarecrow as the main villain is alright with me.
The movie does nothing groundbreaking but it's a sweet story with great characters and it is overall an uplifting little movie. Check this one out.
