This is a relatively short film at just over 80 minutes long. But when it is done, you feel like you have followed the people in the movie for a far longer period of time. It is an absorbing, tension filled, emotional roller-coaster ride, and the whole cast are great.
George is the school bully. This seems like a cliché for a film that focuses on youngsters. But we soon learn that he is a kid with a lot of problems. After he beats up Sam, the time for George to be put in his place arrives. So Sam, along with brother Rocky, Clyde, and Marty, hatch a plan that will see George forced to jump in the river during a boat trip and have to run home naked. Another member of the group, Millie, played by the excellent Carly Schroeder, is reluctant to go along with the plan.
As the boating trip progresses, the group eventually see that George isn't the bully he appears to be. So the whole joke is called off, and we see them continue with the trip by doing what youngsters should do everyday of their lives, having fun and enjoying themselves.
But in an instant everything changes. A moment of madness effectively ends a childhood and the groups lives are changed forever.
I think everyone should watch this film, they will go away with something to think about. And the film will stay with you for a long time.
