Film

'Son of Rambow'

During an unspecified summer in the early 1980s, two pale British boys with marginally fucked-up home lives set out to make a sequel to Rambo: First Blood. Lee, the director, is a lonely hellion who conscripts Will—a dreamy, shy kid whose family religion prohibits pretty much everything—to be his lackey and stuntman. Together, they are the most resourceful, reckless, and fraught film duo since Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski. Everything about Son of Rambow, including its misspelled title, is an exercise in adorable. (See movie times for details.)

Doesn't anyone have anything to say about the Tony noms? Kiley will be pleased that "Young Frankenstein" was shut out save for Andrea Martin. Didn't even get any of the technical noms. Laura Linney was overlooked. Other surprises. "In The Heights" is the big news.
