“Son of Rambow” is a hilariously fresh and visually inventive take on friendship, family, film heroes and the death-defying adventures of growing up in the video age.
The story takes place in 1980s Britain, where young Will Proudfoot is raised in isolation among The Brethren, a puritanical religious sect in which music and TV are strictly forbidden. When Will encounters his first movie, a pirated copy of “Rambo: First Blood” his imagination is blown wide open.
Now, Will sets out to join forces with the seemingly diabolical school bully, Lee Carter, to make their own action epic, devising wildly creative, on-the-fly stunts, all the while hiding out from The Brethren.
“Son of Rambow” – in Theaters May 2nd (Rating: PG-13)
Is there a trailer for this film? Reminds me of another kid film in which a young boy idolized Chuck Norris (who made appearances throughout the film) but went on to be a champion in a martial arts tournament using Numchucks. I believe the film was Side Kicks. That was a fun film and this one sounds like it, too.
yeps that was side kicks. seen it before. this might be fun too. i saw a good one over weekend, it was called millions. where these kids find a bag full of money that was from a bank robbery, and all the stuff they do with it. was really funny.
