Director: Adam Carter Rehmeier
Cast: Conor Sherry, Gabriel LaBelle, Mika Abdalla, David Costabile, Nick Robinson, Gillian Vigman, Shane Workman, A.J. Carter, Moose Miller, Jean Carter
In the summer of 1991, teenagers A.J. and Moose try to make money any way they can. They end up operating a successful snack shack at the community pool, but a beautiful new lifeguard threatens to drive a wedge between the two friends. Adam Carter Rehmeier's comedy is based on his personal experiences growing up in Nebraska City, but unfortunately his memories seem to be the same as everyone else's in just about every one last summer coming-of-age story ever made. The most obvious reference points are Adventureland and The Way, Way Back. It would help if I could stand A.J. and Moose, or believe that they are 14 years old. This movie was brought to you by Nike, Coca Cola, and many other corporate sponsors.
