Joe (Nick Robinson) and Patrick (Gabriel Basso) are both teenagers that are getting close to adulthood. However what is holding them back is there parents. Joe's mother died, and now his father Frank (Nick Offerman) is a miserable guy. He takes out his anger on his son, and makes him miserable as well, by controlling his life. Patrick however ahs two really bizarre parents, who are very obnoxious, and had to describe. They are exaggerated, and over the top, and it would probably be impossible to have them as parents. They both decide that they can't take their parents anymore, and they both now want to move out. However they decide to move out into the woods with their quirky friend Biaggio (Moises Arias), and build their own home out there. While they are out they learn to live by themselves and they grow up out there. It is also about how their parents try to find them, and how they realize they have faults.

The film develops characters, and relationships a lot. Joe and Patrick really change a lot while they are out there, and their parents start to learn things about what they were doing wrong, and they fix themselves by the end. At one point Frank asks "Am I a bastard?" I forgot who he said it to, but she just said "No a bastard is someone who makes everybody else miserable, because he's miserable." That was the point where he learned he had to change, and he does. You see how being away affected his relationship with his son once he gets back. Even the relationship between Patrick and his parents is different too. But that is a harder one to describe.

The beginning of the film however is very strange, and I couldn't tell if I would get into it, but as the film kept going it got more interesting, and it got much better. By the end of the film it is a really good one. It is definitely one that you need to give time, because if you turn it off you will miss out on something really interesting. I have a feeling it was written to be that way though.

This is a really good obscure coming of age film. It is probably a film that isn't for every one due to its quirkiness, and how the film is very weird. It is one of those indie films that you need to have a certain taste for, because it isn't a mainstream film in anyway. But at the same time that is what makes the film interesting. Every year there are always several really good indie films that not everybody goes to see, but they have a small group of people who pay attention to them, and see them. This is one of those films. I have really only talked to a few people who have heard of the film, and even less who saw it. However the people who I know that did see it found it very interesting. I really liked this myself, and I thought that it was very interesting, and it had a good story, with well thought out characters, and a well-written script.

I have only scene the first X-Men film, The Wolverine, and this movie, but of the X-Men films I have seen I would definitely say this was the best one. I liked is the best for several reasons. I liked it's plot, it's cast, and characters a lot. They did this film when they thought that the franchise was going to end, because of two disappointing films in a row. This film was good enough to do a Wolverine sequel, and a sequel for this movie. X-Men: First Class is what really saved this franchise. I would say it is by far the best of the franchise.

It has a very interesting plot that builds suspense for the inevitable war that happens at the end. The film puts together a few different stories and characters and brings them together. It starts off in Poland, 1944 when Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) observes Erik Lensherr bend a metal gate with his mind when he is separated from his Mother. Shaw kills Lensherr's Mother once he can't move a coin, which makes him destroy the office out of anger with his powers. Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) meets Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) in his kitchen, and makes her his foster sister. That is how the whole story got started. Then it cuts to 18 years later, and things are very different. Charles and Raven are really close now, but Raven is insecure about being a mutant. She takes the form of a beautiful girl to hide what she really looks like. They end up meeting other mutants, and forming a group. It is a very detailed story, with a lot going on.

It is a big improvement from the original X-Men. It is an improvement in story, acting, and the action is better in my opinion. The story was more interesting, and it grabbed me very quickly, which the original didn't grab me at all. The acting was better, due to the fact that it had cast members like Kevin Bacon, and Jennifer Lawrence. Well I am just going to come out and say that she is by far my favorite actress for many reasons. I have had a few people on this site recognize that base doff of what I say about her in other reviews, but now I am just going to say that I just think she is just amazing. This is the first time that she did something that wasn't an indie film. She pulled off acting in a big blockbuster beautifully as I think she does with every role she ever takes on. Kevin Bacon was just as good as he always is. He played the antagonist very well. He made a great villain. Everybody else was good, but those are the two people I wanted to point out.

I also found that everything looked better then the original X-Men. Though the first one looked ok, I felt like it's effects were dated compared to the ones on this film. This film was loaded with great CGI, such as the whole war at the end, Jennifer Lawrence transforming into the blue Mystique, and basically everything else in the movie. It was so much more, well done in my opinion. I think that this is one of the best superhero films. The three Dark Knight films are my favorite superhero films without a doubt, but this is up there in the bets of the genre. It was a really good movie that was highly entertaining throughout.
