Dumb Guy Reviews: Son of Rambow

• The most surprising thing about this film is that is has the same MPAA rating as Live Free or Die Hard.
• I'm not saying Son of Rambow should be PG or lower, I'm saying Die Hard should be R.
• The "brethren" stuff was completely useless in my book. I thought Leatherface was gonna pop out at any moment and hack up the kids. It was over the top. Like they were Amish or something and that's just campy and lame.
• If the point was the show that the kid couldn't go out or was trapped in his home, away from outside influences, then he coulda simply been a far right-wing Christian. But maybe that means something different in the UK.
• The film makes me want to film really bad movies in my backyard.. oh wait, I don't have a backyard and I'm not 10 yrs old. Damn oh well. I'll just still to my day job of writing crap on a blog that no one reads.
• The blonde kid is good. very believable.
• Surprisingly enough, most kids in movies these days understand adult crap way more than they should and the adults that write the crap think it's totally normal. I think it started with the "I see dead people" movie. And all the writers loved it so much they kept writing movies with really smart kids in it who say really adult things. And in horror flicks, they make the kid whisper all the time. When I have lots of money, I'm gonna make a horror movie called "The Whispering Kid"
• I bet the kid actors had to ask what all that crap they are saying meant.
• This movie atleast has believable kid dialogue. Possibly because the dude who wrote & directed it, based it off his life.
• Hey it's the same Director of the Hitcherhickers Guide to the Galaxy Very nice! I betcha he couldn't make Son of Ranbow until Galaxy surprised some people with some very good cash!
• Realfilmrating of M3 - make sure your kid knows the difference between real and make-believe and what adult themes are.
