Son of Rambow
Waiting for the movie to start...
After working this week and going out to dinner last night (both Guinness and French wine was drunk.. but I wasn't), I really wanted to do something simple today. As the Cincinnati Movie Bears are heading to the movies tonight without me, I decided to take in one myself on my own.
I saw a commercial for a cute flick earlier this week called Son of Rambow. I went to the Pavillion at Swords, about an hour walk from the hotel, to do a bit of shopping and to catch the movie.
Set in the 1980's, the movie centers around a young imaginative boy who is part of a religious sect who disapproves of technology who inadvertently crosses paths with the school ne'er-do-well to make a movie for a contest. After watching a First Blood bootleg, the young man becomes the "Son of Rambow" (misspelling intended), which becomes the plot of the kids' movie, as he goes off to save his father. To add some really bizarre moments to the film, the school has visiting French students, one of whom is almost disturbingly cool (and hilariously 80's dressed).
There is one very cute teacher in the film (he played Tim Messenger in "Hot Fuzz," but he's grown a beard, making him delicious!). I loved the movie, it was inventive and very funny to watch. I look forward to seeing it again when it finally plays in the States in a few months.
