The Kings of Summer is a Sundance favorite from first-time director Jordan Vogt-Roberts (among his short-film credits, JVR co-wrote the pretty good T.J. Miller/Lizzy Caplan number Successful Alcoholics, from 2010. If you have 25 minutes to blow, I wouldn't not check it out). Your basic setup: Three kids, with various motivations — one's dad is jerk Ron Swanson (a.k.a. Nick Offerman), one's mom is needling Megan Mullally (aaaah, the two are married in real life but not in this, aahhhhh) — decide to skip out on regular home life, build a ramshackle crib in the woods, and squeeze in some super high-quality coming-of-age stuff.
