| Teenage wallflower Duncan (Liam James) finds a positive outlet working at a local water park. |
There is hardly a kid out there who doesn't look forward to those glorious three months known as summer vacation. After nine grueling months of hitting the books day in and day out, who wouldn't want to spend an entire summer on the beach oblivious of responsibility and expectations.
For Duncan (Liam James), a summer in a remote beach town isn't some cakewalk, particularly when you're an introverted pubescent wallflower raised by a bunch of oddballs who nobody quite gets. On top of that, Duncan can never shake off the reality that his mother's overbearing boyfriend Trent (Steve Carell) ridicules him from the start, flushing what little confidence he had right down the toilet. But when a water park manager (Sam Rockwell) takes Duncan under his wing, the summer looks a bit brighter in The Way, Way Back.
