The Way Way Back (2013) Duncan (Liam James) is not a popular kid and it doesnt look like the summer is going to offer anything better for him. His mothers boyfriend has invited them to his beach house where Duncan is expected to improve his personality and physical appearance, and meet girls. But his wouldbe stepsister doesnt want anything to do with him and his shy demeanor makes it difficult for him to meet anybody new. When Duncan wanders into the Water Wizz, the local water park, he meets adult employees who are just having fun. Owen (Sam Rockwell) lets Duncan work with him and their newfound bond will help each other mature and find their place in life. Which for Duncan means standing up to his wouldbe stepfather, having a conversation with the girl next door and being more comfortable with who he is.
