Rating: 3.5/4 -- It's a sweet and knowing and lovely and funny story, but occasionally the spell of warm nostalgia is broken by painful moments of family heartbreak and cruel bullying. Full Review

Brings no distinctive personality or plot angles to a very familiar set of misfit-hero woes and eventual, underwhelming triumphs. Full Review

It’s a sweet and knowing and lovely and funny story....This is a movie that has us caring about the main characters from the get-go, and that’s a tribute to the direction of Jim Loach...

Product Description:

Teen Bobby (Blake Cooper) spends his summer vacation working as a groundskeeper for the very wealthy yet obscure Dr. Kahn (Donald Sutherland). After he's repeatedly bullied by other boys vacationing at the lake, he turns to his mysterious employer for guidance on navigating life's low points. Judy Greer, Luke Wilson, and Liana Liberato also star. Based on the novel ONE FAT SUMMER by Robert Lipsyte, this film adaptation was directed by Jim Loach.
