    Better than the original

    by bmuniz

    I'm a fan of action movies and this film does a great send up of the genre. It's funny and touching and reaches to the heart of the idea of bullying. There are a lot of bullies in this film - the Brethern bullies the family, Lee Carter bullies our hero. Lee Carter's older brother bullies him. The French exchange students bully the "darling" of the English school boys. And yet, the improbable and funny flim the boys make helps to reconcile the entire school group into a better understanding of humanity and the nature of love and giving. You know this film will end happily, but it does manage to surprise you along the way. In many ways it 's a much better film than the original that it spoofs. Worth seeing even if it doesn't make your top 10 of all time.

    Very enjoyable

    by PA_Phillips

    This is a very enjoyable film - the two young boy actors did a splendid job with their role. Thoroughly entertaining. Every person's inner-child will enjoy watching this film.

    Charming

    by glycerinefire

    I went into this film hoping it would be something along the lines of "Millions", another great British film about young kids. I wasn't disappointed. "Son of Rambow" was completely charming. The performances of the two lead boys were totally convincing, and I loved the androgenous character of Didier. Yes, it may be predictable, but that doesn't make it any less fun. Go see it!!
