Summer of 8

I think this movie was great!! I think it was intellectual n deep n very cool on what normal teens experience.

Nice premise. However, they look more like college seniors.

Summer of 8 is far from a masterpiece, but I've always enjoyed movies or stories that take place in one day, with a large group of friends. If you watch this movie and try to enjoy it for what it is, I promise you it's entertaining.

I'm a sucker for movies like this I'm not gonna lie. For me it was beautifully put together and I found myself smiling and laughing all throughout this movie.

Luckily, someone else did when they said the film is like a (admittedly beautifully photographed and designed - although that really just adds to the artificiality) feature-length Beach Boys ode to youth, but it portrays an 'awareness' that real young people don't grasp until long after that time has passed." That pretty much sums it up.

Summer of 8 appears to be a modern day Summer of 42 with the backdrop of a modern day Eden being the beach side world of youth and endless possibility. Most "Coming of Age" dramas include the subject matter of saying goodbye, losing ones virginity or letting go of the past in order to grow up.

"Eight close friends soak up their last day of summer together on the beach before parting ways for college."This must be the longest day of the year because it seems like it will never end.

As the title of this review suggests I believe people are missing the point of this movie. Summer of 8 might be a bit cliché at times but I think it's fully aware of that.

This film left me wondering why it was made. A group of privileged middle-class American kids spend their last day together before separating to go to college.
