For anyone interested, I caught a screening of the British film Son of Rambow, which expands its release this weekend to about 100 screens. This is a movie about a couple of schoolboys who re-create the action from the first Rambo production.
I think it's being marketed as a family movie, but smaller children will be bored and may have a hard time understanding the accents. There's also a few uses of the S-word. The movie is paced in a way that even older children will have a hard time appreciating.
Click the link in my signature for a more detailed (but not spoilery) review. I did not love the movie -- it's the kind of movie that only critics eat up. Still, it is a viable option for those who are tired of summer blockbusters and yearn for something different.
