In an attempt to start watching some of those Christmas DVDs we had been bought, we decided to give Son of Rambow a watch. This is one of the few movies we'd been bought for Christmas that I hadn't seen before, but I had read some very good reviews of it when it was released a few years ago.
Son of Rambow is all about Will Proudfoot and Lee Carter, two boys growing up in the '80s who end up making a film inspired by Rambo.
The movie is well acted and has a lot of enjoyable moments, but somehow just felt like a (really good) movie that you should have randomnly found on TV on a Sunday afternoon, and been really happy about discovering. Not that that should diminish my enjoyment of the movie, but somehow having been told it was really good meant I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I expected to. Or maybe I just wasn't in quite the right mood for it?
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
