Summer of 8

If this was about two or three out of the eight trying to reach a benchmark before college, that could have been feasible, but all eight? That's simply contrived.

The film plays out like a feature-length Beach Boys ode to youth, but has an awareness of what's happening that people usually don't grasp until long after the time has passed.

Shame, really, the cast is appealing and seems up to the task of a lighthearted last-day-before-college day at the beach, maybe some sexual intrigue, maybe a regret or two; but these are eight actors tasked with playing one role. This film could have been about them realizing just how divergent their personalities are, now that high school is behind them.

Summer of 8 is far from a masterpiece, but I've always enjoyed movies or stories that take place in one day, with a large group of friends. If you watch this movie and try to enjoy it for what it is, I promise you it's entertaining.

I can also guarantee that most people only dislike it because the cast is all white. Sadly, everyone expects these movies to be cast like a beer commercial but this is more realistic. Just because one group is represented it is misunderstood as racist and I'm sick of that narrative. I hate to break it to some of you, but every group of friends doesn't have every race represented. I can also watch a movie where the cast is primarily black and enjoy it just the same. So grow the hell up. It's 2020. If we want the race debate to ever go away, people need to stop bringing it up as a reason to piss and moan. It's a movie, relax. Okay rant over.

The cast is a little old to be portraying high school seniors, but this is nothing new. So it didn't bother me. The cinematography and score were excellent. I really felt the moment and could feel what they were feeling. I can't say I've ever experienced a day like this, but we've all had the day before a big change and this movie brought those feelings back for me.

Check it out for yourself and keep an open mind. Enjoy!

Nice premise. However, they look more like college seniors. Also, too deep talking for your typical high schooler. Plus, they listen to no music while hanging out. Great locales. The female cast did the better acting.

"Eight close friends soak up their last day of summer together on the beach before parting ways for college."

This must be the longest day of the year because it seems like it will never end. Summer 8 it is like a porn movie without the action part.It's a long day at the beach that moves too slow. The sun is still high in the sky and you can't see the moment for it to end.

The script is too trashy, weak and obscene.

Nonetheless, i have to congratulate the cinematographer work making not only beautiful images but more important than that is appropriate images.

I'm a sucker for movies like this I'm not gonna lie. For me it was beautifully put together and I found myself smiling and laughing all throughout this movie. Beautiful scenery at the beach too
