Amazon.co.uk Review
The clue to what ISon Of Rambow/I is about is all in the title, minus that W, of course (which presumably keeps the lawyers at bay). For it?s the story of two young boys who, after watching Sylvester Stallone in action, decide that they can make a home movie addition to the IRambo/I saga, and ultimately set about to do just that. p This proves to be an inspired platform for one of the best British comedies of recent years. Directed by Garth Jennings (who also helmed the big screen adaptation of IThe Hitchhiker?s Guide To The Galaxy/I), ISon Of Rambow/I is actually at heart the exploration of a friendship between two young boys in the 1980s, and the highs and lows that go along with it. p Most, but not all, of the chuckles come from the reimagining of IRambo/I (replete with stunts and plenty of action), but ISon Of Rambow/I also packs in some poignant, affecting drama without ever feeling like it?s in any way overstaying its welcome. And with a musical backing that catches the flavour of the 80s pretty much perfectly, this is a treat of a movie, and a very British one at that. Don?t miss it. --IJon Foster/I

 It's ok but.......................... December 22, 2008

You could say that a movie about kids the growing up process of bonding, self realisation is on a hiding to nothing especially when it contains a degree of satire the absurd.br /br /To fully appreciate this film, you have to put yourself into the mind set of a young adolescent although my 13 year old looked at me sideways more than once during the film.br /br /A little clumsy in (many?) parts, it does nontheless provide pretty decent entertainment there are many worse ways to spend a Sunday afternoon however 3 stars is the most it can muster in my view.
 Fabulous and very funny November 16, 2008

If you're a fan of Shane Meadows (This is England et al) you'll probably love this too. A very very cool, witty and dry look at life in the 80s through the eyes of a neglected little tough guy and his mate from an Amish-like community. Sweet, meticulous and full of brilliant dialogue - plus great acting from the little nippers - it's a new British classic.

Set in 80s England, "Son of Rambow" charts the relationship between a shy boy, Will, brought up in a strict religious sect that shuns popular culture, and a young tearaway, Lee, who is obsessed with First Blood and with amateur film-making.br /br /I'd heard good things in various reviews about this movie but was disappointed throughout. The plotting is scarce and uninvolving, the set pieces desperately unfunny, and the acting really quite poor, with the exception of a couple of the minor adult characters.
 A film the entire family could enjoy together September 20, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Set in the 1980s with a school background, two very different boys, one from a Plymouth Brethren family, the other street wise and allowed to run wild, come together when the "nasty rough boy" needs an actor to play Rambo in his home movie. We soon realise the boys are more similar than first appears: Will, the shy religious boy, has no father; while Lee the brash loudmouth lives a lonely life with his uncaring brother. br /br /Some of the funniest moments in the film take place in the school, particularly relating to the French exchange students and the super-cool Didier. I loved the scene where one of the teachers is doing things with a mirror, his nose hairs and a pair of scissors - you just know its going to end badly - and yes, it does. br /br /Neither of the boys acts outstandingly, there is no really satisfactory conclusion to Will's mother decision to lose her self-righteous suitor (I was hoping she would end up in make up and heels and horrify him), and the ending is a bit of a damp squib; but it's a thoroughly likeable film and unusually, one the entire family could enjoy together.br /
Entertaining comedy with a heart and some touching moments September 20, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
"Son Of Rambow" is an early-1980s-set film about Will, a boy whose family follows a strict religious regimen banning all television and music, as well as the compulsory attendance of Brethren meetings. As repayment for an unruly boy named Lee taking the full blame after the two boys have a fight in the school corridors, he must be a stuntman in Lee's home-made film, which is inspired by the film "First Blood". Lee wants to enter it in a short film competition on a then-popular TV series called "Screen Test".br /br /Whilst suffering the trials and tribulations of film-making and school, they actually learn some important lessons about friendship and loyalty along the way, and it is precisely this that makes the film something special.br /br /Good performances all around, some amusing slapstick and some great 80s songs also add to the charm. It's only really let down by a slowish start and one or two anachronisms.br /br /Rated 12 by the BBFC due to moderate language, smoking and dangerous behaviour.
