Here's one that's been off the list a few years, I rewatched it the other night and was reminded what a great film it is. From the makers of Little Miss Sunshine and Juno, Rockwell stars with Liam James and Steve Carell in this water slide charmer. James plays the troubled teen who hates his mom's boyfriend, has to spend the summer in Cape Cod (poor fellow) and finds solace at the water park. Rockwell hires him for the summer.
There's a whole lot more not to mention Toni Colette. Similar to Little Miss Sunshine, every character has some dysfunctional issue. And what a supporting cast. How about Allison Janney as a freewheeling drunk? There's so many characters and familiar faces, there's almost a supporting to the supporting tier. So this is where it differs much from Sunshine which was stealthy and compact with it's four main characters.
Casting really nailed it though, this one's an underappreciated gem in my opinion. See what you think. Then get ready to book your ticket to Cape Cod. Available VOD or Prime membership. 3.25 stars/5
