Without having seen the film, the best comparison, at least for tone, might be Little Miss Sunshine, though this film is rated PG-13. It’s written by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, who wrote another family comedy\/drama, The Descendants<\/em>, starring George Clooney.<\/p>\n Whereas The Descendants <\/em>centered on Clooney as a Hawaiian landowner suddenly faced with the realization he doesn’t know his family at all, and is forced to quickly mend long deteriorating fences, The Way, Way Back <\/em>centers on Duncan, an awkward teen finding his place in the world. Like The Descendants<\/em>, and despite a minimalist budget, TWWB sports a robust supporting cast: Steve Carell, AnnaSophia Robb, Maya Roudolph, Amanda Peet, Sam Rockwell, Rob Corddry, Toni Collette, writers (also established actors) Jim Rash and Nat Faxon, and Robert Capron (sidekick in The Wimpy Kid<\/em> series),<\/p>\n If Duncan looks familiar to you, he’s played by Liam James, who also plays Det. Linden’s son on AMC’s The Killing<\/em>, and he’s also the original ‘Young Shawn’ on USA’s Psych<\/em>, a role held until he was called out within an episode as getting too old to play the same age character any longer.<\/p>\n
