Son of Rambow

This came up amongst my recommended movies on my newly renewed Netflix account and I recalled hearing about it last summer sometime. After reading the description and seeing the 75% approval on RottenTomatoes.com I immediately put it on my queue and moved it straight to number one! I expected a quirky comedy full of foul-mouthed, witty children re-enacting Rambo--c'mon that sounds like lots of fun--but instead what I got was pointless, vapid, boring tripe. I stopped watching after about 35 minutes, left it on but just ignored it in favor of other, severely less entertaining activities like cleaning. Still, the cleaning was the clear choice. Then of course news of Michael Jackson was released which gave me something else to focus on while my waste of rental played out alone and unwatched in the other room. Overall I don't plan to give the film another go and I will absolutely not recommend it to anyone. Goo.
