Trailer for the Amazing Coming of Age Comedy THE WAY, WAY BACK

TrailerMovie by Joey Paur

The Way, Way Back was one of the best movies I saw up at Sundance earlier this year, and today we present the first trailer for the film! This is an incredibly well made, scripted, and acted coming of age comedy that stars Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Allison Janney, AnnaSophia Robb, Sam Rockwell, Maya Rudolph, Amanda Peet, Rob Corddry, and Liam James.

THE WAY, WAY BACK is the funny and poignant coming-of-age story of 14-year-old Duncan’s (Liam James) summer vacation with his mother, Pam (Toni Collette), her overbearing boyfriend, Trent (Steve Carell), and his daughter Steph (Zoe Levin). Having a rough time fitting in, the introverted Duncan finds an unexpected friend in gregarious Owen (Sam Rockwell), manager of the Water Wizz water park. Through his funny, clandestine friendship with Owen, Duncan slowly opens up and begins to finally find his place in the world—all during a summer he will never forget.

Rockwell steals the movie, and he gives one of his best performances ever. It also features Carell playing a jackass character that we've never quite seen him do before, and he pulls it off perfectly. Here's what Ben had to say about the film in his review.

This could end up being one of the funniest movies of the year... We've seen a lot of films with the same themes as this one, but every element comes together very well and coalesces into a really special coming of age story. The Way, Way Back is strong, confident, dramatic, and laugh-out-loud funny.

You can watch our video review of the film here. The movie opens up this summer on July 5th. There's going be a ton of big badass tentpole movies coming out this summer, but I highly suggest that you squeeze this one in there because I'm sure you're going to enjoy it. Check out the trailer!
