Movie Review: Lymelife Is A Fantastic Movie!!!

Yesterday afternoon I saw the movie Lymelife at the Carlton Cinema in Toronto with a friend. I met my friend at the Bay subway station, we went to Coffee Time donut shop to decide which movie to see. We decided to see “Lymelife” the movie is a coming of age tale about a teenaged boy Scott Barlett.

Lymelife is set in the late 1970s on Long Island New York. The movie has an all star cast Emma Roberts,  Kieran and Rory Clukin, Cynthia Nixon, Alec Baldwin, and Jill Hennessy.

The protagonist of the movie is Rory Culkin’s character Scott Barlett  is struggling to deal with his parents separation. Scott has problems at school he is teased by other boys. Scott’s best friend is also his neighbour Adrianna Bragg.

Adrianna ‘s father is depressed he has Lyme disease and he is unhappy about his life. Adrianna’s mother Melissa is an employee of Scott’s father. Melissa is bored with her marriage and wants something more.

Meanwhile, Scott’s mother is also depressed she is unhappy with her marriage and Scott’s father is drifting away from the family. Scott’s older brother returns home from the military.

Adrianna is a year older then Scott, she is also more mature. Adrianna likes Scott and she kind of plays mind games with him. Adrianna introduces Scott to weed, sex, and also about life. The teens discover a shocking secret about their families that may break their families apart.

I didn’t like the ending of the movie I thought it was too “Hollywood” but Lymelife is a solid movie.
