Sons of Summer

After some awfully hamfisted exposition, 4 friends (seemingly only friends because their Dads are mates) decide on a road trip for a very weakly established plot point. Along the way they make terrible decisions and act like they're in a first time community theatre production. I can't stress this enough- this is awful and my best guess is someone did this as a favour to someone who needed money laundered. There's NO reason. For this film to exist. Not so bad it's good, just bad. Not enough substance here to write anything more on the film so I'll end on saying Rasputin by Bony M is a killer track.

"sons of summer" movie is a movie with an extremely weak script, without observing any dramatic structure, without a single interesting story.

In this movie, no dramatic action that has the potential of a feature film happened, the acting of the actors was very poor and it was the worst movie I have seen in my life.

A film without a story, without a hero, without any attractive turning point, conflict and potential, this film had neither characterization nor dramatic characters.

I am really sorry for the creators of this work, especially with the untalented and weak actors.

I wish the makers had a bit of dramatic literacy before making the movie.

There a few movies that can mix action and surfing. I can think of three. Point Break, Liquid Bridge and Summer City.

SONS OF SUMMER cleverly mixes a Road Trip to pay tribute to a dad that was murdered 30 years ago.

The four sons, lead by actor Joe Davidson who's dad was the one murdered by a Vet and has his own problems is a likeable character warts n all. His relationship with girlfriend Isabel Lucas is at the crossroads as his deeds before they go on the trip make the journey memorable.

Enter Temeura Morrison. What a great actor, he adds the tension and moves the story into a different genre.

Next we have the visuals, the surfing sequences are the best Ive ever seen in a movie and the music was a perfect mix of today and yesterday. Ive rated this 9 stars. Highly recommended.

Horrible acting and omg that girl looks freaking sick. It was hard to watch.

I don't know what they use these sickly thin actors in the movies. The whole movie was so weak.

Weak acting, beautiful locations but still didn't make us want to watch this movie.

We stopped in the first 10 min.

Watching Isabel Lucas was just too painful.

This is not good for younger people to watch and compare themselves with these sickly thin people, thinking that's the norm.

This is just not OK.

The very weak acting, making it slow motion like it's 80s still is not OK. We don't stand for this kinda movies anymore. Stop it.

Now I have got to waste 600 letters on a review when the title should already says everything. I actually only bothered to watch this movie seeing that the score was 7.2 on Imdb. How it ever got there is a mystery to me. The whole thing is an amateurisch mess. The acting was incredibly bad. The characters behaved in a complete illogical way. The introduction and what was supposed to be the headline in this movie about a murder committed 30 years earlier played no role whatsoever in the story. We have a two man mafia going about like a chicken with no head. I can only advice against wasting your time on this trash. There are some nice shots of wave riding, but that shouldn't serve as an excuse to watch this trash.
