Full Plot Details

SON OF RAMBOW is the name of the home movie made by two little boys with a big video camera and even bigger ambitions. Set on a long English summer in the early '80s, SON OF RAMBOW is a comedy about friendship, faith and the tough business of growing up. We see the story through the eyes of Will, the eldest son of a fatherless Plymouth Brethren family. The Brethren regard themselves as God's 'chosen ones' and their strict moral code means that Will has never been allowed to mix with the other 'worldlies,' listen to music or watch TV, until he finds himself caught up in the extraordinary world of Lee Carter, the school terror and maker of bizarre home movies. Carter exposes Will to a pirate copy of Rambo: First Blood and from that moment Will's mind is blown wide open and he's easily convinced to be the stuntman in Lee Carters' diabolical home movie. Will's imaginative little brain is not only given chance to flourish in the world of film making, but is also very handy when it comes to dreaming up elaborate schemes to keep his partnership with Lee Carter a secret from the Brethren community. Will and Carter's complete disregard for consequences and innocent ambition means that the process of making their film is a glorious roller-coaster that eventually leads to true friendship. They start to make a name for themselves at school as movie makers but when popularity descends on them in the form of the Pied Piper-esque French exchange student, Didier Revol, their unique friendship and their precious film are pushed, quite literally, to breaking point.

Movie Reviews

Eye for Film - 10/10 by Amber WilkinsonThe script sizzles with humour, but more importantly... it carries an emotional weight.
eFilmCritic.com - 10/10 by Erik ChildressThere lies a huge, beating heart that leads to a crescendo of joviality so flawlessly accomplished that your mental applause sign may light up before its all over.
Globe and Mail - 9/10 by Stephen ColeFew movies have captured the intoxicating effect of pop culture on kids better than Son of Rambow.
Eclipse Magazine - 9/10 by Michelle AlexandriaGarth Jennings, has crafted a small, indie film that - dare I say it? Should I say it? Why not? Is "This Year's Juno."
Arizona Republic - 9/10 by Bill GoodykoontzAll part of growing up, an experience Son of Rambow portrays with genuine insight.
Ebert & Roeper - 9/10 by Richard RoeperA noble effort, but it just kind of falls apart.
Los Angeles Daily News - 9/10 by Bob StraussOverall, this is a funny and tough-minded slice of weird life, as well as a sweet if wayward ode to movie love.
Boston Globe - 9/10 by Ty BurrIn many ways, Son of Rambow plays like a pint-size, even cheekier version of the recent Michel Gondry film "Be Kind Rewind." Both are stories about people making movies not because it's their job but because doing so brings a vast sense of play into their lives.
New York Times - 9/10 by Manohla DargisA likable, lightly sticky valentine to childhood, the 1980s and the dawning of movie love, Son of Rambow was written and directed by Garth Jennings and produced by Nick Goldsmith, the duo behind the underappreciated fantasy "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by Sean AxmakerPerhaps the most ingeniously imaginative element in Son of Rambow, a film exploding with imagination (some of it scrawled directly over the film in animated expressions of Will's private world), is its very conceit.
