Excellent
A tounge in cheek, comic book style love story
Other themes explored: adultry, marriage, stereotypes, bullies, community, violence, nature, foster care system, parental examples (illness like rage and depression) which get passed to children
Two teen out casts, artistic, violent tempers, self assured, genuine... fall in love. Products of their personalities, environments and others around them.
The entire island community gets involved. They had a plan to return in ten days, even left notes, but the parents and community unnecessarily turns it into a huge emergency situation...
The bullies that caused the boy to run away from camp (life) turn into his friends during the adventure. Adults learn to value and respect the kids during the journey. Foster care system let the intelligent / artistic boy down... he gets adopted by the police man of the island.
Well acted, well written, well directed... beautiful camera work, fun, sad, relatable on many levels... life, love, pain, death, growth, acceptance, open minded
Great Fun.
Awesome soundtrack
Cried at the end!
