3 young men sit at an outdoor picnic table, 2 of them arm wrestling
Big Boys
14-year-old Jamie is going on a camping trip with his older brother Will and their cousin Allie, but Allie surprises them by bringing along her boyfriend Dan. Jamie then has to wrestle (and at one point arm wrestle) with having a crush on Dan, leading to all sorts of awkward situations and complicated feelings. The story is told with grace and compassion, with excellent performances from all the actors. It’s not a laugh riot, but more of a gentle comedy. Highly recommended, a MUST SEE.
