What’s worse than a family vacation when you’re struggling to differentiate from your family? The Way, Way Back is a coming of age story of 14-year-old Duncan’s (Liam James) summer vacation with his mother, Pam (Toni Collette), her overbearing boyfriend, Trent (Steve Carell), and his daughter, Steph (Zoe Levin). Having a rough time fitting in, the introverted Duncan finds an unexpected friend in Owen (Sam Rockwell), manager of the Water Wizz water park. Through his funny, secret friendship with Owen, Duncan slowly opens up to and begins to finally find his place in the world – all during a summer he will never forget.
