I really love this movie, the most heartbreaking moment is seeing Duncan break down after finding out that his dad doesn't want to see him. I love his friendship with Owen.

😂😂ngl lewis caught me off guard in the end, imagine how many farewell parties was made for him. Owen is the kind of friend you wish to meet, the small kind gestures he made for duncan impacted his whole persona. Great movie.

i kinda had a mentor friendship like this, im 35 yrs old. at that time i was 25 and i met a kid that was 16 going to 17, his parents are drug addicts so he would ride his bike all day. one day while working on my yard he stopped and asked if he could help me pick up the grass for 5$. i said yes, he would come over 2 times a week for the whole summer, i gave him 25$ instead of the 5$. one day i found out his dad took his money that he had saved almost 250$. One day i saw his dad walking to a known drughouse, i stopped my car and offered him a ride since it was raining when he got in the car , i told him that the money he stole from his kid was from me and now he had to pay it, at first he got mad but he noticed how pissed i was he gave me 100$ at that moment, i told him that if he ever try stealing again from his kid i would look for him. eventually the boy moved in with me and my girlfriend at that time when he turned 18 he stayed with me for about a year and got a good job now he is married and expecting a baby he comes from time to time to visit me with his wife. he treats my son like a brother and i am happy he broke the cycle of his family. im very proud of him

That ending made me cry tears of joy. I'm so glad the mom realized her mistakes for neglecting Duncan. Also for finally not caring how Trent feels

Since Sam Rockwell usually plays unlikeable jerks, it's almost surprising to see him as a happy go lucky childish adult, while Steve Carell is the complete opposite. Also, it's funny seeing Carell and Toni Collette play boyfriend and girlfriend, when they were previously siblings in "Little Miss Sunshine."

Thanks to his comedy roles, it is so easy to forget that Steve Carrell is actually a damn good drama actor. He plays the role of a scumbag who disguises himself as a nice guy so well

Lewis really can't make up his mind can he😂😂😂

The water park is the only place where he receives love and acceptance, thats relatable. It is sad and heartwarming

Every introvert needs a friend like Owen

Glad i stumbled into this. Im gonna watch the full movie now. Steve Carrell as a jerk and Sam Rockwell as a likeable guy. Awesome.

The world needs more love, innocent, supportive and true. Good people where are you?

the funniest part lewis changing his mind after getting a farewell party

It's amazing how oblivious the mom is to her son's perspective or mutual feelings between her and the stepdad. Like the dude is clearly an asshole to her son.

Such a Good Movie . Kids, teenagers feeling hopeless, sad should watch such movies . Makes them realise some important facets of life. Duncan didn't loose hope . Whe he found happiness somewhere else, where his actions won't hurt anyone , he did enjoy it and also made others happy . He also made his mother realise her mistakes and become stronger because of his decision making. .... This is Feel Good Movie . 👍

I have never seen this movie but your recap has brought me happy tears. Thank you for you upload. Great job!!

Trent’s not the bad guy, the mother is. I damn sure would never allow a person to treat my kid this way

we tend to forget that teens do have a logical understanding of things, they lack world experience, but they do understand more than what we give them credit for

Owen is a real hero

Owen is the friend that everyone needs♥️

Sometimes kids teach life's lessons to elders....beautiful movie 👍👌❤

It's been quite some time since I have cried like this while watching a movie. Just such a beautiful and incredible story of a young boy suppressed because of his family, finding his way to live life. I see myself in him, almost to the point being identical in personalities. Maybe that's why I feel so attached to this story. This gave me a new confidence and if I get time I will watch this beautiful Movie. PEACE ✌️

While watching this video, I forgot I was watching a recap movie. What an amazing movie it’s so emotional and yet so bright!

Honestly this movie needs a sequel

I loved this movie. I'm not sure how I came across it all those years back, but I'm glad I did.

This movie was just beautiful, inspiring and motivating ! ❤️ thank you for your awesome recap

I watched this in 8th grade. I was an introvert back then, watching this movie, made me want to open up a bit more to people.

I loved this movie, this movie actually inspired me to overcome your shyness to be someone who you wouldn't thought you could do and face the hate people think about you.

WTF is this? This might be the best movie I've seen in a while, and this is off a recap. MY GOD, I LOVE IT.

Boy, I was so much like Duncan. However once I entered high school I tried my best to socialise and now atleast I can manage random short convos with ppl.

Just another example that proves the importance of strong, loving, and encouraging father figures. Great movie. I was 7 and the oldest of 4 (3 boys) when my mother divorced and left Ohio to take us to Texas to be near her sister. My mom knew the importance of having a good father figure, so she enrolled us into organized sports and the Big Brothers and Big Sisters program. One of the best decisions she ever made raising us.

Great movie my mom used to put it on when I was about 10 or 11. I used to hate Steve Carell because of it but it shows you how good of an actor he is

I am a Full grown man, but watching this movie recap made me cry.

Wow! Great recap. Explaining the little and subtle moment and details that we sometimes missed or forgot, let me understand the movie 🎬 better in a shorter time making the recap just as good if not better than the actual movie 🎬. Thank you 😊

Very nice job. I'm not sure if you realize it ,but this is a great lesson on how to write scripts. You nailed this.

The background music made it more touching and first person.

It is first time that I got emotional after listening or watching something like this. There always some strangers who help u and make ur day great.

This movie brought back memories. My first best work family for me was delivering pizza at Domino's pizza at Ann Arbor, Michigan. During my senior year at high school, the drivers, managers, and staff were the best, lots of memories, and adventures in and out of work.

i wasn't expecting Sussana to kiss Duncan when they bid farewell lol

He takes the feelings emotion hate love of everyone around him thats absoulutly beatiful and humble

The cast is so great in this. Thanks for reminding me of it. I need to go watch again.

Thank you for these synopsis these help me to find which movie I should watch .I always get confused while choosing what to watch .

My throat hurts from holding my tears...XD. Good movie tho. Relateable'ish with the family situations and being lonely.

One of the best recaps in the channel🎉🎉

I love the story … thanks for uploading

sometimes the happiness your looking for is in a stranger

Sometimes when low self-esteem,you need older and wiser adults to help young people get back....thanks for sharing....

This movie is one of my all-time favourites.

The Way Way Back is one of my favourite films. Sam Rockwell was brilliant, as was Mia Rudolph.

So glad to see that coming of age films have not died. From Bless the Beasts and Children, Where the Red Fern Grows to Breakfast Club, they are so important. Thanks

such a good movie , made me tear up at the end ❤

At the end it was so emotional 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️. Lucky to watch the recap🙏🙏🙏

this is a good movie. nicely narrated as well

That's a great movie and the lesson that i learned is that a family that cannot give you happiness can't be called a family and the people who can give you real happiness is your real family

Now this is a movie that I'll be happy to watch in it's entirety, even after watching a recap of it! I don't know if it's the storyline of the movie or if it's the presentation by this channel of which both are exceptionally good!💖👏👏👏👍Damn good job!👍

The mom: that Owen guy is a bad influence! Also the mom: *drunk every day*

The Way Way Back that was a great film watched it again semi recently and I was surprised by how great of a film it is the ending was interesting and that Water Park guy aka Sam Rockwell was awesome the evolution of the kid from who he was to who he became was great to see especially seeing how a positive role model and friend drastically changed his life so much

What a great movie ❤ It’s a shame Duncan & Susanna didn’t end up together

Sam Rockwell is one of my favorite actors! This is a tear jerkery

Great narrating! 👍

Bruh idk why but I’m enjoying these recap videos😂😭

the bad parts makes you feel 😔

I haven't seen this movie yet, and now I must. Sam Rockwell is one of my favorites. I'm also having anxiety as I'm simultaneously happy and disappointed that they didn't end with the " mom dumps the loser boyfriend and goes back to be with the cool guy that mentored her kid thru his tough emo summer" trope. I really kinda wanna see that happen, but I'm also glad it didn't, but I wish it did, but aaaaaaaaaaagh!!!!🤯 I needa hug from Sam Rockwell now please 🥴

I'm watching it for twice, I don't know why I like this movie so much.

One of my favorite movies. So wholesome. Great actors.

This movie was actually motivating :) keep up

This movie has a lot of heart

i was super young and started working at a gymnastics gym. Probably a awkward 17. Life was so good, being a part of the team. So good i held onto teaching gymnastics on and off up to 14 years

I absolutely love it. thank you 💯❤️

A few things the recap got mixed up -Betty is actually the sister of Trent -Joan and Kip are not married, they are childhood friends of Trent -Owen is actually one of the managers. Probably took ownership considering his apartment is in the water park -Owen wasn’t the one concerned about the dancers it was Katlyn -Owen isnt proud or impressed about Duncan being good employee, but with how he is growing and becoming more confident from when he first spoke to him -The three boys that got stuck weren’t screaming for help, but yelling at each other for failing to pass each other -Katlyn wouldn’t only be surprised that the park could close, but because of his careless and lazy self is (or could) be the reason why they never could be a thing. -Duncan nickname was “Pop N Lock” no one calls him that for being a “PopNLock guy” but for the dance style the dancer made him do -Duncan walks off because his mother was keeping from him that his Father no longer wants anything to do with him, Also because he found out from Trent during the fight -(ok this one is silly) Duncan doesn’t run to the park “worrying about his mother” . He ran to let Owen know they’re leaving so he can say goodbye and make one final memory he can be happy with. His mother Pam chases after him, Trent is screaming for Pam not Duncan -Pam had no idea what the heck was going on at the park, but she was happy to see everyone cheering for him

This was a really fun and amazing movie it made me so happy and it’s so relatable I love this a lot 😊

This is one off my favorite movies!!

What a great movie. I was crying the whole time 🥹

Loved this movie. Wish it was more well known

Everyone should have one Owen in their life. It'll help us to overcome anything

I can relate to this movie alot because I was the same way when my mom married my stepfather

Damn... they made movies with a different feel and passion back then. This movie even while just narrated just makes you feel things. Nowadays movies are all BOOOM BIG RED TEXT but shallow stories that you can't relate anymore.

I feel like this movie is the story to My life, such a good film and I wish I had a friend like Sam Rockwells character.

It would've been cool if Duncan's last name was Doughnut.

This was a great movie when I first watched it I'm glad it came across my feed to give me a chance to kind of watch it again.

Calming story thanks for sharing 😊

This made me so emotional 😭

I love this movie! Thanks for the recap!

Love the way you recap lady...

KUDOS to the creator for providing the title of the movie you reviewed, not like other creators. SUBSCRIBED!

That was so touching. I love movies like this, good ending. Winners all around

I can honestly relate to this kid Duncan. I too was outcast growing up and at this point, fuck it. Being alone in ambient silence is paradise compared to being around a bunch of loud idiots that don't like you as much you don't like with them.

A man's worth being determined by how much girls he can get!?!? That is wrong & disgusting

This was a really good movie and recap.

I'm sick at the moment but as I'm talking it sounds like I'm crying but I got to admit this is a beautiful movie

A good man in a boy's life even if it's just for a moment has such an impact a lot of people don't understand but i wish more did. It can change you in such a good way but can also be heartbreaking at the same time if you lost it. It's why I will always forever be grateful for my stepfather growing up. I hated men because of my father and then there's this guy who entered my world, who dealt with all my nonsense and I treated him horribly for years because i was a broken child that didn't understand why i was the way i was until I understood what it meant to be loved by a man. He who wanted to be my father which was so eye opening to me at the time and even though I only had two days of truly feeling that I had a father and someone that I could look up to, love and feel it in my heart when I say that I love you dad . It changed my life forever. I would give years of my life just to get that back. Unfortunately after those two days of me really seeing that I had a father he passed away. He had a reaction to his medication and fluid built up in his lungs while he was asleep and he passed away he was only 36 at the time. That day will forever haunt me but he forever changed me into realizing that I can care and love people and you never know how much time you have so don't hurt people just try to understand because you never know what someone's going through and sometimes just being there is enough. Sorry for the rant as you can tell losing a loved one overwhelms me emotionally so the ending just made me horribly sad even though it's supposed to do the complete opposite but driving away from the man that helped you so much never knowing if you'll see him again it just saddens me.

Owen is the real mvp. That is how to act and how to treat people.

Saw this movie years ago, never knew the name until I found this video. Thanks

I need an Owen in my life.

I love this movie so much because its kinda related to my life story

Very nice story line

Omg I remember watching this movie! This was so good!

Guys the movie is free on KZfaq it’s called The Way Way Back

One of the best "coming of age" movies imo, didnt feel cheesy, actors are all good, it's funny and heartbreaking. Worth watching.

love your videos

This child isnt shy hahaha I love this film so much prolly now one of my favorites
