Amazon.co.uk Review:
The clue to what Son Of Rambow is about is all in the title, minus that W, of course (which presumably keeps the lawyers at bay). For it's the story of two young boys who, after watching Sylvester Stallone in action, decide that they can make a home movie addition to the Rambo saga, and ultimately set about to do just that.
This proves to be an inspired platform for one of the best British comedies of recent years. Directed by Garth Jennings (who also helmed the big screen adaptation of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy), Son Of Rambow is actually at heart the exploration of a friendship between two young boys in the 1980s, and the highs and lows that go along with it.
Most, but not all, of the chuckles come from the reimagining of Rambo (replete with stunts and plenty of action), but Son Of Rambow also packs in some poignant, affecting drama without ever feeling like it's in any way overstaying its welcome. And with a musical backing that catches the flavour of the 80s pretty much perfectly, this is a treat of a movie, and a very British one at that. Don't miss it. --Jon Foster
Rating:
- Fabulous and very funny
If you're a fan of Shane Meadows (This is England et al) you'll probably love this too. A very very cool, witty and dry look at life in the 80s through the eyes of a neglected little tough guy and his mate from an Amish-like community. Sweet, meticulous and full of brilliant dialogue - plus great acting from the little nippers - it's a new British classic.
Rating:
- Ram Bad
Set in 80s England, "Son of Rambow" charts the relationship between a shy boy, Will, brought up in a strict religious sect that shuns popular culture, and a young tearaway, Lee, who is obsessed with First Blood and with amateur film-making.
I'd heard good things in various reviews about this movie but was disappointed throughout. The plotting is scarce and uninvolving, the set pieces desperately unfunny, and the acting really quite poor, with the exception of a couple of the minor adult ... Read More
Rating:
- A film the entire family could enjoy together
Set in the 1980s with a school background, two very different boys, one from a Plymouth Brethren family, the other street wise and allowed to run wild, come together when the "nasty rough boy" needs an actor to play Rambo in his home movie. We soon realise the boys are more similar than first appears: Will, the shy religious boy, has no father; while Lee the brash loudmouth lives a lonely life with his uncaring brother.
Some of the funniest moments in the film take place in the school, ... Read More
Rating: - Entertaining comedy with a heart and some touching moments
"Son Of Rambow" is an early-1980s-set film about Will, a boy whose family follows a strict religious regimen banning all television and music, as well as the compulsory attendance of Brethren meetings. As repayment for an unruly boy named Lee taking the full blame after the two boys have a fight in the school corridors, he must be a stuntman in Lee's home-made film, which is inspired by the film "First Blood". Lee wants to enter it in a short film competition on a then-popular TV series called "Screen ... Read More
Rating:
- Awful waste of my time
I was looking forward to seeing this film for quite some time and I'm honestly regretting spending my money on it... It's awful! Cliche after cliche, bad acting, awful story line and generally the only good thing about it was some questionable french actors! A few smiles were raised by the memories brought back - like the scented rubbers and bad hair do's - but definitely not worth buying - unless it's in the £1 bargain bin!
